Hi, The title is pretty explicit, but I should add that I’m talking about an instanced object with a decal on the original object, not on the instance itself. It seems it doesn’t work if the instance is in Render Instance mode, can you confirm ? ---

Do you mean you place a decal so it affects Object A, then you make instanced copies of Object A, and then those instances show no sign of the decal effect? This would be expected - you’d have to also clone/copy the decal objects as well so that each instanced object has its own decal object. ---

This has been reported already but there is a workaround that should help with this as mentioned here: [https://forum.corona-renderer.com/](https://forum.corona-renderer.com/) [Decals Don't Work with Instances](https://forums.chaos.com/t/154775)
