The world's first fully GPU-accelerated, biased renderer

Redshift by Maxon – an award-winning, production-ready GPU renderer, promises blazing speeds and amazing results for your 3D renders. Built to meet the specific demands of contemporary high-end production rendering, today’s artists find the perfect rendering solution.

In fact, Redshift is the world’s first fully GPU-accelerated biased renderer, able to achieve unprecedented speeds while still providing superior image quality compared to other renderers on the market. With its advanced features, optimized performance, and robust support, there is simply no better renderer than Redshift by Maxon!

What’s New

February 21, 2024 – The February release includes support for the next-generation GPU that represents the biggest leap forward in graphics architecture ever for Apple silicon. Other notable features of this release include bug fixes, enhanced stability as well as improvements to the appearance of ramps, and additional features in Houdini.

Redshift Overview

GPU-Accelerated

Redshift brings the power of GPU acceleration to rendering, built to meet the specific demands of contemporary high-end production rendering. Tailored to support creative individuals and studios of every size, Redshift offers a suite of powerful features and integrates with industry-standard CG applications.

Core Production Strength

Redshift has the features and uncompromising quality of a CPU renderer but at GPU rendering speeds. unlike other GPU renderers out there, Redshift is a biased renderer that allows the user to adjust the quality of individual techniques to get the best performance/quality balance for their production.

Photorealism

Redshift’s out-of-the-box functionality provides the essentials for delivering photorealistic results, and its render view interactive preview region makes it a breeze to tweak settings and get immediate results. In fact, artists can make adjustments more or less in real-time.

Shading & Texturing

Redshift supports complex, advanced shading networks and texturing capabilities as required for production-quality rendering.

Character

Every artist wants their renders to look great but also needs results quickly because faster rendering means more time to be creative and deliver client revisions. There are many amazing renderers out there that can bring your 3D creations to life, but only Redshift consistently delivers both breathtaking speed and remarkable imagery.

Integrations

Redshift supports the industry’s most popular 3D applications, offering seamless integration into your production pipeline. Redshift standalone supports all integrations – you can jump between any of the supported applications without any additional cost for each integration.

See the system requirements for a full list of integrations.

Please Note

As of Redshift v3.0.45, Apple M1 with 16 GB RAM is supported (11.5 or later)

Please see here to determine if your GPU supports compute capability 3.0.

To find out how the various GPUs compare against each other, please check out our “benchmark results” thread.

We strongly recommend installing the free demo prior to purchasing Redshift to verify system compatibility and to ensure Redshift performs to your expectations.

Distorter Node (New)

Cinema 4D’s Distorter node is now part of Redshift in Cinema 4D. The Distorter shader can be used to drive distortion of the UV space for a material according to texture or shader input, immediately producing variation to break up repeating maps. The Distorter node now supports 3D distortion using Maxon Noise. This means that Distortion is no longer limited to color texture inputs and 3D distortion of the popular Maxon Noise node and distortion of bump maps is now possible.

MatCap Shader Node (New)

Quickly create stylized, non-photo-real materials by mapping an image onto a mesh. This Shader allows you to prepare beautiful illustrative renders from your own digital sketches.

Jitter Node (New)

Automatically apply color variation across a large number of objects with the same material applied. Great for creating foliage, rocks, a mason jar full of gumballs or a crate of delicious avocados of varying degrees of ripeness. The Jitter Node is currently available for most DCCs (Cinema 4D, ZBrush, 3dsmax, Maya, Houdini, Katana, Blender).

Standard Surface

Redshift’s Standard Surface offers incredible realism with intuitive controls. Create surfaces via simple, industry-standard parameters, and translate materials from other rendering systems with ease.

Redshift M3 support, houdini

Redshift 3.5.24 – February 21, 2024

This release includes support for the next-generation GPU that represents the biggest leap forward in graphics architecture ever for Apple silicon. Other notable features of this release include bug fixes, enhanced stability as well as improvements to the appearance of ramps, and additional features in Houdini.

  • Redshift now supports Apple’s hardware-accelerated ray tracing technology on M3 devices.
  • Improved interpolation in the ramp node allows for crisp lines between stepped gradients.
  • The new Houdini plugin features a whole lot of quality-of-life improvements.

Redshift 3.5.22 – December 12, 2023

Offers improved stability and performance, as well as enhanced workflows featuring faster and easier importing of Adobe Substance 3D materials in Redshift for C4D.

  • The updated Substance node in Cinema 4D allows artists to create a Substance material in the Redshift Material Manager, import a .sbsar Substance material through the Substance node, and render.
  • Preview Rendering within Redshift RT provides artists with clarity on what is happening during initializing and scene pre-processing, offering improved interactivity and clarity on operations in progress.
  • Users of Redshift RT can now select their preferred level of texture compression in five steps to optimize their scene for highest quality, performance or a balance of quality and speed.
  • Redshift RT now boosts performance even further with an option to render frames at a lower resolution and automatically up sample them using Nvidia DLSS technology.
  • Artists can now choose how much denoising they would like to apply to frames in Redshift RT to quickly get cleaner rendered frames by working with lower quality sampling settings.
  • The RT Russian Roulette option enhances performance by randomly skipping rays which are determined to have a minimal effect on the scene.
  • Bounding Volume Optimizations provide substantial performance gains by only recalculating the meshes affected by a user change instead of the entire scene.

Redshift 3.5.20 – October 18, 2023

The latest update for Redshift brings bug fixes for all DCCs, enhances the quality and camera navigation speed when navigating a scene in Redshift RT and improves pixel-based displacement mapping performance and quality.

  • Moving your camera through a scene no longer reduces your render preview to a low-res, noisy scramble. With the new under sampling technique for RT, the camera navigation speed is boosted and maintains a specified level of quality.
  • When working with high-density meshes and doing close-up renders, per-pixel displacement in RT exhibits improved performance when compared to earlier versions of Redshift.
  • RT also now supports texture compression, which reduces the amount of VRAM that is being used by textures.
  • The Distorter shader in Redshift now supports 3D distortions and the MatCap shader shines with new parameters.

  • Redshift Camera and Backplates are now available in Redshift for 3DS Max. Now 3ds Max users can easily apply different backplates for each camera, either in-render or as a post-effect, with robust frame fitting and adjustment options.
  • New material preset for Principled Hair added for Cinema 4D makes it even easier to get up and running with physically-based hair. More realistic hair with nuanced settings for texture and shape variation can now be created with just a few clicks in the Material Manager while Redshift is active.
  • Redshift CPU rendering is now faster in all host software packages, with significantly lower memory requirements (50% on average).
  • General performance and stability updates for improved performance in 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, and Houdini.
  • Added support for animated vertex deformation with motion blur in Redshift for Blender.
