Yes, en2 is using the new mode. It may be slightly faster because some objects become a little darker but the difference may be also because I was rendering in the background and doing other stuff.

Here is a quick ugly comparison. Not a "real life example" but I just wanted to see the difference.

Nice example, is it PT+PT or HD?

PT+PT but there is no room modelled, just black void and 2 rectangle lights.

And what if you disable filtering from Corona's ui? Does it make rendering faster or slower?

This is interesting, I would never expect such differences in rendering time.

I think those "jaggies" are caused by very thin lines being antialiased and this is normal, this would also happen if you were photographing something like this. To get rid of this, you can try increasing your render's resolution. Other than that - not much to comment. :)

[this may be crazy but] how about a huge area light at a huge height?

And Corona settings.....?

All I can tell for now:

-you have 128 PT samples per pixel in Cycles - how much did you have in Corona? 16 and LSM 2?
-you have max bounces set to 128 and min to 3. In Corona you don't have such adaptive settings. If you were using defaults, it would be 25 bounces.

MSI 200.... why?

To raise the noise level

This explains a lot. ;)

Now seriously, set everything to defaults (reset settings) and try again. There is no need to use bucket mode.

I did not intend being rude. :)

Thanks for the picture but it is a bit small. I can see some noise in one region, upper left corner. In the rest of the picture, I can't see much noise.

You could also show a picture of your render settings.

If you are expecting a serious answer, you should include some serious documentation of your problem.

Raylight, could you post all the render setting that you used in Corona and Cycles? I don't know much about Blender and Cycles but I do know Cycles is somehow adaptive - you can set stuff like "min/max bounces" so it would make it more biased.

Keymaster should change the material's name to something like "car base".
