Description : Redshift is one of the leading GPU-accelerated render engines that has become the industry standard for its performance and quality. Using the power of GPUs, it accelerates rendering, creating high-quality images and animations faster than traditional CPU render engines. Redshift integrates with popular 3D programs such as Autodesk Maya, Cinema 4D, Houdini and 3ds Max, efficiently uses available GPU memory, supports custom shaders and interactive rendering. Constant updates and quality support ensure that it is up-to-date and reliable, making it ideal for creating films, animations and commercials.
In turn, Cinema 4D is a professional program for 3D modeling, animation, rendering and visual effects, developed by Maxon. It is widely used in the film industry, television, advertising, as well as in architectural visualization and design due to its powerful functionality and ease of use.
Additional information : Supports all video cards of previous releases and modern solutions. I tested it on 3060 TI. You can install the engine for Maya and 3ds Max using the same instructions, the process is similar (verified). I have not tried installing it on other programs. The original author of the bridge for the licensed server is CGHotman.
