That's a great test render.
Probably try to reduce the opacity texture size for the chair mesh to get it to look more like a mesh.
Here's a couple of test renders I ran myself and I did side-to-side comparisons of the same views that I had previously rendered in the 3ds Max plugin of Corona.
The 3ds Max versions - which are obviously more polished and better materials and better IES lights - are at the bottom in each case and the ArchiCAD plugin versions - which were taken straight from the Frame Buffer interactive renderer after a some half-hour to hour and a half cooking in the background - are the ones on the top.
All in all not too bad for an alpha version of a plugin with most of the features still to be implemented.
......
....and the second one. I liked this one much better even without the extra work on the materials and lights.

Here's another side-to-side comparison of ArchiCAD Corona Plugin test render (VFB interactive image, ~20-30 mins) at the top to the original 3ds Max Corona plugin version at the bottom - but this time of an exterior view.
I obviously spent a bit more time on the original image with some post-processing in Photoshop to make the colors pop a bit more and do a bit more sharpening, and I had also spent more time on it on the materials which look far superior, whereas in ArchiCAD I did minimal adjustments (like with the glass and metal) but not as much time.
.....this plugin has great potential.
The closest to a simple 'point-and-click' render engine I've ever worked with.
(Maxwell comes close, but the render times with that were absolute torture just to get a clean image.)

Loving the tests here, they look great!

Hi everyone!
I downloaded the file 'corona-archicad-alpha3-daily-2018-11-23' and when I try to install it I get an error (Win10 x64):
