SSS Question

[dobe]

me again

try to build SSS material. in this tutorial ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDqXv6gu3ts) the speaker shows
the LuxRender Alpha Transparency (7min27)

is this the same funktion like the opacity in my node? (screenshot)

[B.Y.O.B.]

Yes.

By the way, quoting myself:

In Lux, SSS is done in the following way:
You take a material that allows light to shine through it. This can be Null (completely transparent), Glass, Glossytranslucent or Mattetranslucent.
Then you take a volume with scattering support, most of the times you want the Homogeneous volume.
To control the scattered color, I would recommend to use the absorption color. 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 to the depth where the light should be completely red, e.g. 1 cm.
Leave the scattering color white and use the scattering scale to control the scattering strength.

works well
