I’ve been experimenting with character creator hair that is using the hair model and in the end I found the cause for all the issues… It was the capsule direct shadow. if you turn it off - the SSS and entire lighting and shadow model works like a charm. you can still use capsule indirect shadow on your model. I also tested only on model that has hair attached to the character as a whole… I will test separated hair in a second.
Confirmed. same issue with direct capsule shadow on separated hair. both as part of character or just skeletal mesh in the scene.
