What's New

Maxon’s GPU-accelerated renderer Redshift 2025 continues to expand the creative horizons of users, enabling them to use the full power of virtually any GPU or CPU for both photorealistic and non-photorealistic rendering. Additionally, Redshift GPU is now included with every new subscription of Cinema 4D. Toon rendering now offers a global contour option that allows line drawing to be easily applied to an entire scene, while also allowing users to define the look of toon lines and shading more precisely. Additional improvements to Redshift 2025 include an option to use procedural shaders as the input for Sprites and a new Volume Depth AOV pass to aid in compositing clouds, smoke and explosions. Additionally, Easy Brute Force caustics enables users to easily set up beautiful, realistic patterns of light passing through glass, gems, and other translucent surfaces.

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 in order 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 RenderView 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.

Character

Every artist wants their renders to look great, but also need 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.
