There are some changes between the projects, for example different objects in the background. Maybe you made some other change, for example to some material or texture?
As the first step, try resetting Corona's render settings (Render Setup > Scene > Reset settings).

You can also create a Corona Physical Mtl and enable clear coat in it. Then you can have different roughness value for the base reflectivity (let's call it "reflection") and a different roughness value for the clear coat (let's call it "specular"). Perhaps that would work for you.

Corona is a physically-based renderer so there is no distinction between "specular" and "reflection". If a light is more intensive, it will illuminate diffuse objects more and will be more intensive in reflections, just like in real life.

Hi, please try the following:

1. Download and install Corona 11 Hotfix 2 - https://corona-renderer.com/download
2. Start 3ds Max
3. Set Corona as your renderer and make sure it is activated - https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4642369149585-Activating-Corona-for-3ds-Max
4. Then create a Scatter object and see if the activation issues remain

If there is still some problem, please contact us at https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Update: it looks like some materials were accidentally published and then hidden - see: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=42056.msg224887#msg224887

Were you accessing Cosmos from the Corona toolbar or through the web browser at http://localhost:30305/ ?

2. You can create simple box and assign empty Corona rayswitch material to it. The scatter will treat the box like regular object, but it won't be visible in render.

...or a Corona Physical/Legacy Mtl with 0 opacity :)

[Max] I need help! / Re: can i know why the light reflection is not consistent

« on: 2024-05-22, 15:58:10 »

Hi, what you are seeing here is the UHD Cache solution. You should not be seeing that. :)
It sometimes happens when effects like glossy reflection/refraction or translucency are at play.
To fix that, you can try going to Render Setup > Performance > UHD Cache and:
- changing preset to "animation (flicker-free)"
- and/or changing precision to a higher value (I would advise trying with 2 first, and if that doesn't help, slowly increasing it further and checking the result)

[Max] I need help! / Re: Loading 3DS Max Render Presets deletes all lights in LightMix channels

« on: 2024-05-22, 15:46:08 »

This was reported before and it's a 3ds Max issue, not Corona. If you have some scene objects referenced in your render settings (e.g. LightMix or Render Elements), those references are not saved in 3ds Max Render Presets. You can check that with other renderers. Sorry, but we cannot do anything about it.

[Max] I need help! / Re: Best way to render same object in 50 different textures?

You can animate the radio button in the Corona Select Material or Corona Select Map. (check out the attached video)

[Max] I need help! / Re: Fireflies!!

« on: 2024-05-22, 15:33:59 »

For how long are you rendering your image? (how many passes)
If you are still getting fireflies after ~50 passes, that could mean that your scene is built with some kind of mistake. It could be a highly reflective surface reflecting some strong light, a light with too high intensity, LightMix, or many other things. You can check some troubleshooting ideas here: https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4528247036305-How-to-get-rid-of-excessive-noise

If you are unable to find the root of the issue by yourself, please send us a support ticket and attach your scene to it (archived with all assets): https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
