I was trying to make procedural planets with luxcore, issue was, i could see the effect come to live in the shader box, but
i don't see the effect in both preview port and rendered image.

Can you upload the scene?

When I increased the noise size and distortion in the noise node, the effect became visible, but noise textures were stretched

It sounds like a scale problem, the size of the sphere is 0.1m, what is the scale of the cube ? You can adjust the 3D mapping (first node at left) scale and the preview sphere size (below the sphere input box) to match your cube.

I adjusted the sphere size to the same size as the cube, both were 1.00 . Then I moved to the 3d mapping node, changed the size to both 1.00 and 0.01, yet I did get the desired result. I still didn't get it.

The "sphere size" is the diameter of the preview sphere, not the radius.
The default cube is 2m in diameter, not 1m.
So set the sphere size to 2 and it should work.

Thank you, someone already helped me out. I used sphere 5.00 on the preview, which matched with the size of the rendered image. I learnt something new today. And I have to admit just like u told me last month, luxrender is easy to use

Thanks, the issue was the sphere size.
