LIVE Project Breakdown | So, you've never used Redshift before?

Join Maxon Trainer Elly Wade (@itwaselly) for her September livestream, where she’ll be getting you started with Redshift! You’ll be diving into how to begin using Redshift inside Cinema 4D, including a breakdown of lighting, materials, render settings and other useful tools. This stream is aimed at artists who are new to Redshift but will include plenty of helpful tips and tricks for all levels.

Redshift needs to be GPU as shipped with Cinema4d, otherwise... its a money extraction scheme which does not look that tempting compared to Blender and other tools. Its one thing to pay extra for Arnold, V-Ray or Octane or some third party render engine. But in 2023, almost 2024, Maxon need to make Redshift, full Redshift part of Cinema4D experience. Otherwise its like selling a modern car with seat belts and airbag extra. Its not a value proposition, its a corporate middle finger to the users. A deliberate software handicap to extort money. Message is clear.

[@bobanefecco]

You perfectly nailed it.

[@trailheadpicturesllc9983]

Thanks Elly! Very helpful.

[@JamesSwift-gj5mv]

Great tutorial! it helped a lot, looking forward to more

[@dmaendeleo]

Thank you Mrs Elly

[@feliperamirez659]

Thank you Elly!

[@angelrivasruano478]

Great Elly Congrats

[@gordonccs]

Nice! thxs for that content, still asking me how can apply logo images un procedural object without Uvs ?

[@tiffanychatham1710]

What file should you save as when exporting the UV, can it just be a JPG file? And since it's warped, will the exported UV show the warped grid?

[@bobanefecco]

Yes. The cpu version….. practically useless.

[@danielschmid8530]

I had fancy artefacts when stacking materials, so I reached out to Maxon support. They basically said "sry still under development". So yeah GPU is the way to go. I'm happy with the performance on AMD cards though.
