This Redshift annual subscription from Maxon is an electronic download that provides you a 1-license seat for a fully accelerated GPU biased renderer that provides fast, high-quality renders of your work. It allows you to make adjustments and tweaks in real time while rendering. Redshift is compatible with a variety of industry-standard plug-ins from Maya, 3DS Max, Cinema 4D as well as other third-party applications. This is a standard one-year software license.
GPU Acceleration
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.
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. Artists can make adjustments more or less in real time.
Shading and Texture
Redshift supports complex, advanced shading networks and texturing capabilities as required for production-quality rendering.
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.
Integrations
Redshift supports the industry's most popular 3D applications, offering seamless integration into your production pipeline. Redshift standalone supports all integrations, allowing you to jump between any of the supported applications without any additional cost for each integration.
