There's no special node setup. Here's how the SSS material looks in Cycles: Thanks in advance if you want to give it a try.

Re: Sub-Surface Scattering
:) Yeah, but I love the gradually diminishing, glowy light as surface depth progresses in Cycles. I tried all advice I've read and viewed, and just don't succeed in achieving that effect in Luxcore. Either the whole surface gets lighter or light doesn't penetrate a surface enough. But I've sent my s...

Re: Sub-Surface Scattering
Thanks, I know the video. Good tips, but despite that knowledge I can't get Luxcore SSS to behave as Cycles Random Walk SSS.

Re: Sub-Surface Scattering
I've tried just about everything, but I'm happy to send the scene to you in a PM.

Re: Sub-Surface Scattering
OK, tried to match the advice in the Luxcore Wiki SSS page some more, but when I leave both the Glossy Translucent material's Transmission color and the Volume's Scattering value white, colors become very faint, and the bump map starts looking like artifacts: Happy Halloween by Metin Seven - Luxcore...

Re: Sub-Surface Scattering
Have you read this? https://wiki.luxcorerender.org/Subsurface_Scattering It explains some of the fundamental principles of using SSS in LuxCore. I used Random Walk SSS in Cycles, which is the same algorithm as LuxCore uses, unless I'm mistaking. This is correct. Slightly closer again, using a Heter...

Re: Sub-Surface Scattering
OK, adjusted the light strength of both the HDRI environment as well as the direct lights to get more light energy going and match the Cycles scene more.
It looks a bit brighter now, but still not the nice light falloff inside the volumes.

Re: Sub-Surface Scattering
I'm using the same HDRI with the same orientation. Luxcore's diffuse shader gives a very different result on the background, hence the visible difference. But if you focus on the pumpkin you see similar brightness. Nonetheless, I'll change some light settings to see if that really changes the SSS ef...

Re: Sub-Surface Scattering
But I seem to remember one of the Luxcore devs confirming my question if Luxcore uses Random Walk SSS.
