Hi
I couldn’d find this reports on forum or anywere else.
It looks like Corona incorrectly rendering smoothing groups, when there is transition from round surface to flat.
To compare I’ve attached Vray render and scenes.
Could you show wireframe of the mesh? I never saw shadow terminator issue on similar meshes, would be interesting to know what topology i should avoid.

Apparently this seems to be something with the rotated edge topology and the curvature that it didn’t like. I did a quick edge flow and straightening and the issue disappeared like exactly with the tubes I posted on the initial screenshot.
Depending on what you’ve exactly found or fixed: it may be a suitable fodder for Corona Scene Check if you see any chance that issues like this one could be detected generally :]
