Hello, I want to ask you for advise on a glass shader. I try to make photorealistic glass. After a few renders, I am happy with results, dispersion looks pretty good, except for a small problem with blur when I use subsurface scattering, but the main problem is caustics. Is possible to make fake ca…

I would generally recommend recreating the materials, it’s likely you will need less nodes to do so as the material setup is often simpler in LuxCoreRender I’m happy to do a scene conversion, pm me if your interested.

Check on blendswap or on this forum, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a complex setup that also brightens. Personally I just modulate for shadow for transparency based shadow control, which is probably not what you want. For realistic patterns on stills, can’t you render out using Luxrender and simply ad…

I want to do all in cycles, I have seen many tutorials, but no one is perfect for me.

Thanks, I see this file and use it, but result is not satisfying, it needs many settings by hand, I want node setup that works in every scene based on light.

[image] Jaroslav_Mikulik: but no one is perfect for me The one moony posted was the one I had in mind (I haven’t tried it or even looked at it myself). What do you mean not perfect? It’s faked, and with the limitations we have in Cycles, this is about as good as it’s gets. Needing controls is…

Ok. I will try it with LuxCoreRender. Have you some tip to convertor from cycles node to lux nodes? If I check internal use cycles nodes, it create totally different material and I dont want to start learning LuxCore nodes from the beginning.
