What's New

Redshift 3.6.0 features non-photorealistic rendering (NPR), more flexible Standard Volumes, AMD graphics support, alpha mask support for Redshift area lights and more. Render NPR line and toon looks in Redshift, featuring a new 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. The new Standard Volume nodes allow you to quickly add variation and fine detail when rendering volumes like Pyro and clouds. With the addition of OSL support for HIP, Redshift is now officially supported on Windows systems with AMD graphics cards. Furthermore, alpha masking for area lights has been added, allowing artists to create light gobos with a simple texture. And the new native support for German and Korean allows artists to use the software in their preferred language.

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. In fact, artists can make adjustments more or less in real time.

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.
