What's New

Redshift 2025.4 introduces OpenPBR support, making it easier than ever to achieve photorealistic materials across various rendering engines. With OpenPBR, Redshift now adopts this new industry standard, offering simplified material parameters that provide consistent and impressive results. This update empowers artists to utilize multiple render engines in their pipeline without sacrificing material quality. Additional features include:

  • Per-Point Attributes on Hair Curves in Houdini: Modify colors and other properties along the length of hair curves in Houdini for intricate designs like feathers and complex hair dye jobs.
  • Redshift Material Graph Baking for Viewport: Preview Redshift materials in Cinema 4D with accurate texture placement and representation directly in the viewport, enhancing workflows and client reviews.
  • 3ds Max: V-Ray/Corona to Redshift Material Conversion: Effortlessly convert existing V-Ray or Corona materials into Redshift materials with just a few clicks, streamlining the migration process.
  • USD Support for Variants and Multiple Material Overrides: Quickly substitute assets like textures or meshes in a scene with alternate versions, enhancing flexibility with USD workflows in Maya and Houdini.

Explore these exciting new features and upgrades in Redshift 2025.4, designed to streamline your creative process and elevate your rendering capabilities.

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.
