New page

In LuxCoreRender, SSS is done in the following way:

* You take a material that allows light to shine through it. This can be [[LuxCoreRender_Materials_Null | Null]] (completely transparent), [[LuxCoreRender_Materials_Glass | Glass]], [[LuxCoreRender_Materials_Glossy_Translucent | Glossytranslucent]] or [[LuxCoreRender_Materials_Matte_Translucent | Mattetranslucent]].
* If you use Glossytranslucent or Mattetranslucent, set a dark diffuse color and a bright transmission color. That is because reflected light cannot be transmitted (due to energy conservation), so if you have a bright reflection (diffuse) color, less light will be transmitted.
* Use a [[LuxCoreRender_Volumes | volume]] with scattering support as interior volume, most of the times you want the [[LuxCoreRender_Volumes#Homogeneous_Volume | Homogeneous volume]].
* To control the scattered color, I would recommend to use the absorption color of the volume. So if you want that white light gets a red tint when scattered in the material, set the absorption color to red.
* Remember to also set the absorption depth of the volume to the depth where the light should be completely red, e.g. 1 cm.
* Leave the scattering color of the volume white and use the scattering scale to control the scattering strength.

This is an example node setup done in BlendLuxCore:
