I know the normal + glossy effect but I want the yellow to red color effect by light.

thanks

this is what I got so far. It kinda looks like the picture but the sss is not emitting the yellow light.

Any thoughts?

    $\begingroup$ maybe try a Subsurface Scattering node? or a mix between Diffuse and Volume Scatter node? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Look into translucency or subsurface scattering $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 21, 2018 at 11:55
  • $\begingroup$ The object on the 1st image is not emitting light, so I doubt you need any emission shaders, try translucent or use some volume absorption on connected to the volume socket. $\endgroup$

You can also make it with Principled Shader only if you like to keep things simple.

Node setup:

As mentioned above, add Principled Shader, set Subsurface Scattering to around 0.2-0.3, tweak Roughness and you are ready to go.

Scene setup:

For this setup (and reference image) you will need some strong directional light in front of your object. I've used Area Light, scaled on X axis.

For the basic setup, add Translucent, Glass and Subsurface Scatter shaders. In the volume section use volume absorption.

You can then add textures to some of the elements to make the texture less homogeneous.

  • $\begingroup$ Hi, thank you so much for your answer! I've never used the volume node that way before but it looks awesome! $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Volume absorption is a good tool to add color when dealing with liquids, glass and translucent objects. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I think you broke the energy conservation with the add shaders, it glows like a lamp. $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 21, 2018 at 21:13
