Hei Dade, can you see the link?

Are you using the same max. path depth settings ? Preview has, by default, a lot shorter paths.

[insertcoindottv]

in discord you can find the scene file if you want to check by yourself

[Dade916]

Ok.

Grazie :D

It would be great if you could attach the file here (or paste a link into the first post if it is too big).
The same for the image showing the problem.

Here we are B.

I also have a scene here showing a similar difference in reflection brightness: ProceduralLeaves_negative_scale_difference.zip
It is most likely caused by the combination of two factors:

• Negative scale on some axis. In my scene, it's the x-axis.
• In viewport renders, the objects are instanced, meaning the transformation is applied on the object level and not baked into the mesh. In final renders, the transformation is baked into the mesh and no longer present on the object level.

I should have fixed this problem.

Thank you Dade!
I'll try it asap.
Have a nice day, and stay safe.
Grazie, ciao!
Massimo.
