What's New in Redshift 2025
- Redshift 2025 continues to expand the creative horizons of users, enabling them to render both photorealistic and non-photorealistic results using the full power of virtually any GPU or CPU.
- Toon rendering has been expanded to offer 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 with contour tone mapping and custom user created tone map patterns.
- Easy Brute Force caustics enables users to easily set up beautiful, realistic patterns of light passing through glass, gems, and other transparent surfaces.
- New 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.
- Every Cinema 4D subscription now includes access to the full power of Redshift GPU rendering.
- Addition of native Redshift Cameras within Cinema 4D’s Crane, Morph and Motion cameras.
- Users can also take advantage of presets in Substance 3D materials and improved options for adjusting the size rotation and color space of the materials.
--------------------------------------
What's New in Redshift 2024 Spring Release:
Redshift 3.6.0 features non-photorealistic rendering (NPR), more flexible Standard Volumes, support for AMD graphics, alpha mask support for Redshift area lights and more.
- Render NPR line and toon looks in Redshift with new non-photoreal-render options, including a Contour node, a Toon Material node for cel shading, and a Tonemap Pattern shader for half-tone shading and other screen-space, grid-based shading styles.
- Opacity controls in Redshift's new Toon material allow artists to render particles additively, where the light emission of each particle builds on those below to create super-bright, stellar particle renders.
- With the addition of OSL support for HIP, Redshift is now officially supported on Windows systems with AMD graphics cards.
- New Standard Volume Nodes make it easy to quickly add variation and fine detail when rendering volumes like Pyro and clouds. Also, the Standard Volume shader now works within global environment fog.
- Other additions include alpha masking for area lights, allowing users to create light gobos with a simple texture. Re-worked mesh lights are easier to use and obey visibility and light linking rules, and the State shader has a new ray bounce level output.
- Native support for German and Korean languages has now been added to Redshift.
**Redshift supported hosts: Cinema 4D, Maya, 3ds Max, Blender, Kantana, Houdini

What Redshift Does:
Key Features:
Core
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.
Shading and texturing
Redshift supports complex, advanced shading networks and texturing capabilities as required for production-quality rendering.
Lighting
Choose from a wide variety of light types. All lights are multiple importance sampled for the cleanest results using the fewest samples. Redshift also supports per-object light/shadow linking for great artistic control.
Cameras
Redshift supports all commonly used camera types, as well advanced controls for physical camera effects.
AOVs
Redshift supports a comprehensive set of AOVs for the most demanding post-production compositing needs.
