Moving from Octane to Redshift after 3 years, really helpful tutorial.

[@lrkamaya]

A couple other people can testify this people are the best in the game with fruitful efforts every time.

Jesús you rocks!! Happy to see you here!!

[@j.ssuarez]

Thanks for the support Samo!

[@earthwormjim3]

Your scores are so on-point and eargasmic. Way to go!

[@tomdelpech]

Very good tutorial! thanks a lot. Just moving from Arnold to Redshift and these are priceless tips. keep them coming. 👍🙏

[@steve_the_designer]

Considering moving from Arnold to RS too. On what did you base your decision?

[@ROJTHEGOAT]

yay Jesus excited to see you here

[@eyedesyn]

Gotta get you on here Roj! :)

Great as always! Please do more lessons with new NODE EDITOR - without u, we are all stuck in old editor THANKS! 3

[@KayandBurtonMedia]

Thank you man for sharing this stuff

[@Novamute]

Just outstanding. That is all.

[@jorgeabad698]

Thank you so much this helped a lot!!!! You saved my life

[@azharchannell]

This was so helpful!! Thank you

[@spiritualmysteries4033]

it worked! thank you so much!!

[@donaldcanonoy3312]

Still working as of today! Thank you!

[@pixelrash]

Thanks for such an amazing tutorial. Is there a way to blur the hdri in the dome light within the settings. I couldn't find any settings to do that. I just want to create a soft reflections and lighting from the hdri I have without using external softwares.

[@Dformerart]

Came from Octane - that video basically taught me everything I need to switch, thanks a lot!

[@Gasconauxolives]

Hello, I was considering Octane and finally went with Redshift : what in your experience made you switch from O to RS ? They seem soo similar it's hard to know without trying both! I'm planning motion renders, not stills. Thx in advance.

[@Dformerart]

@@Gasconauxolives Hey, I just had a project built around glass dispersions - and I think on that front, somehow RS is more aesthetic, that's all. However, I feel Octane is more optimized; I get faster results and render times. Probably I just more convenient with Octane. It would be interesting to see content on how to optimize render view with RS.

[@Stiegosaurus]

There is no way red shift is better than Octane. I'm sorry. I call bs.

[@alekofficial1st]

Thank you for this! Super cool video! A+++

[@MohamedMahfouz699]

Thanks... it's working... Good Job...!

[@TheGrrson]

Just started using Redshift on my Mac M1 and I’m loving it. Thanks for this!

[@eyedesyn]

Amazing! How’s the speed??

[@TheGrrson]

@@eyedesyn It's not bad at all, tbh. For single images, the progressive render view gets great results even with Post FX and Denoising. Once I learn more about optimizing my scenes better for RS I'm sure that will improve even more. I've just got the M1 Pro MacBook so if the M1 Max and M1 Ultra get even faster results then I'll be very happy.

[@eyedesyn]

@@TheGrrson My 2019 MacBook Pro is strugglinnnnn

[@TheGrrson]

@@eyedesyn Redshift makes me want a juiced-up PC even more than I already did. But I prefer Macs by far.

[@bobbyraindance]

Same here. Got an M1 Max Apple Studio. Getting my head around best workflow approaches but loving the speed of the new Mac.

[@MGrillo3D]

Amazing tutorial Sir!!!

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for watching!

[@ducthien244]

Nice video, thank you!

[@lizlopez5035]

Muy bien explicado!!!! Gracias

[@devacamping5626]

Works well!! DANKEEE

[@joehance]

Until now, Octane was my favorite weapon of choice ;) But thank you very much for that intro - it helped me a lot to figure out first steps in redshift, as it's the default render since cinema version 2024... Let's see how this works and if it's a real option :)

[@iamsyaraf4999]

So perfect

[@VEDICGaming]

Great vid

[@ace5]

Great tutorial man!

[@eyedesyn]

Yoooo Aleksey thanks for checking out!

[@ahmedislam9508]

Probably the best app from you..

[@danniloduarte]

Thanks it helped me install it

[@evitalifepharma1478]

Thanks mate

[@kako478145]

Bro thxx♥️

[@emnaallani5465]

Does it have the repeat step sequencer in the step sequencer ??

[@dingtra969]

really helpfull

[@worem2192]

My dream come true

[@diegoski4144]

ok thx!!!

[@andershattne]

Anyone know what happened to the material presets in the most recent version?

[@tapirman111]

at around 5:36 he says just grab a glass present but in the latest version of c4d and redshift i'm using... no options for presets anywhere!?!

[@samstucky9984]

Since the update, to use the presets you need to create a RS "material", instead of an RS "standard" material.

[@sahilpatel6975]

SNice tutorialt, it's the nice tuto

[@adproproductions2038]

Great video! Can you do one for Houdini?

[@armena2866]

Hey this was great. Any idea how to select a preset in the latest redshift? The dropdown is missing under Base Properties. Cheers

[@jaykats]

From the Redshift Menu -> Create a new Material (Choose the one that is below the 'Standard') Then you will see the preset setting at the top of the settings field)

[@rahulshekhar8498]

yeah

[@muser7935]

it is very like Arnol in concept, but it is much simpler. thanks

[@maksoz_mtb2924]

does proxy supports motion blur ?

[@juniorc1521]

I dont have the photographic exposure tab in my redshift does anyone know why not?

[@official360news]

bro i am not getting any tracks into my soft how is that possible

[@user-vh6dv9es1s]

I want to know how to record and master my own ?

[@JayBaggio]

Thanks for this. Why are some of the planks black already at the start of the tut and before you create your first material (orange)? How was that black colour applied? I personally think you go very fast and click things without explaining the way an "intro" or "beginners" tut should be explained but most comments are positive so I guess it works. I will try to follow. Thanks again

[@slackears]

i think the Planks are black thanks to the Fracture object. In the object manager select the Planks (fracture object) and in the Transform tab you can change the basic object colour

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Does any one have this scene in fbx format?

[@haleypark]

Hi the download link for the project file doesn't work, I've entered my email multiple times but I'm not getting any email.

My favorite render engine is Mental Ray :P

[@eyedesyn]

VRAY!

[@Gasconauxolives]

@@eyedesyn lol that was mean... please don't make fun of good-old-venerable V-Ray, it is disconcerting indeed but extreeemely capable nonetheless. Cheers.

[@user-mo7ow8ol8t]

Always used Corona as my main renderer, got interested in redshift when it was bought by Maxon. However, don’t understand why C4D materials don’t work with redshift or look like assigned materials in the viewport. Still feels pretty much like a 3rd party renderer and not that integrated. Right now I can’t get results as quick and easy as I get them with Corona and RT doesn’t even work on a Mac!

[@Gasconauxolives]

RT rendered weird and then crashed my C4D with a brand new RTX build and up to date drivers so I guess you don't miss much ;

[@Stiegosaurus]

Redshift crashes on me over and over and is SO SLOW in the viewport to work with redshift view on. Octane is SUPERIOR in every way. I also love Corona. A great renderer. Im using a RTX 3080TI and this thing feels like I'm running a 980gtx when using Redshift. GARBAGE. Sticking with Octane. Just makes more sense too.

[@sebastienmorere6925]

Hello, do you know how to use Redshift in Blender?

[@eyedesyn]

Pretty sure RS for Blender would work the same exact way!

[@simonzhang3D]

Why would you use Redshift in blender??

[@thomasboone1344]

Seems outdated now, they moved to node editor and a number of settings you identify no longer look the same, there is no preset in the new node editor, nor are there LUT's available to choose in post effects in the renderer, any help to provide to ease this issue would be appreciated! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@monski-mm5zv]

Hey Thomas, there is still a preset menu. Just make sure that you generate a redshift material not a standard material. Hope that helps.

[@metehandemirguc2567]

But I have a question! !

[@MultiKnabbel]

99/00 was sotNice tutorialng called Vision DSP or DST or sotNice tutorialng and didn't quite work the way soft soft does, but tNice tutorials video helped so

[@mfahlepi2188]

Hey bro! I need soone who know After effects. C

[@sarnarider9872]

It's the mic

[@MattWhittingham]

Good, but a lot has changed in the latest release

[@eyedesyn]

Nothing about the core of RS, just where things are, updated node UI, but everything covered here works the same!

[@mycity8270]

[@Stiegosaurus]

Redshift is such a slow ass process to work with in Cinema4D. Octane is SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL.

[@gogadev]

Which is the one which comes built in?
