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. The upgraded Distance Shader adds new Interior Color Controls and Cinema 4D Material previews in Nodes will now use a 2D plane for certain shaders. Additionally, support has been added for Light Materials in Nodes in Cinema 4D, as well as a new ToneMap Pattern Tile Scale Bias control for easier filling in of areas with a custom pattern. Additionally, Redshift now supports Maya 2025 on Linux as well as the Maya native Standard Surface shader.

GPU-Accelerated
Redshift is a powerful GPU-accelerated renderer, 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.
Redshift
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.
Redshift
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.
Redshift
Shading & Texture
Redshift supports complex, advanced shading networks and texturing capabilities as required for production-quality rendering.
Redshift
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.
Redshift
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.
