Redshift is the world’s first fully GPU-accelerated, biased renderer. It is used in production by leading studios around the world because of its blazingly-fast GPU rendering – as much as 10 to 50 times faster than CPU rendering.
Redshift is not only the world's fastest renderer but also offers the most features and flexibility among all GPU renderers. Its rich feature set includes ray switches, flexible shading networks, motion blur, AOVs, deep output, layered EXR and much more. Unlike other GPU renderers, Redshift is a biased renderer that enables you to adjust the quality of individual techniques in order to get the best performance/quality balance for your production.
Render scenes with hundreds of millions of polygons and terabytes of textures. 10s of millions of triangles take up less than 1 GB of VRAM. And thanks to Redshift’s advanced out-of-core paging technology, your scenes can include a virtually unlimited number and size of bitmap textures without your system running out of memory or crashing.
Redshift seamlessly integrates with 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Houdini, Katana and Maya via plugins. All plugins are included free with all Redshift standalone licenses. Redshift supports popular third-party plugins including Forest Pack (3ds Max), Ornatrix (3ds Max and Maya) and Golaem (Maya), as well as advanced host application features such as MoGraph (Cinema 4D), XGen (Maya) and Houdini's instancing and Volume and VDB primitives. A Redshift plugin for Blender is in development.
Leading studios that have adopted Redshift into their production pipelines include Technicolor, Polygon Pictures, Digital Domain, DHX, Rainmaker, Encore Hollywood, Blizzard Entertainment, FX3X, Original Force, Doodle Pictures Studio, Jim Henson's Creature Shop, Guru Studio, Magnetic Dreams, Muse VFX, Glassworks, MediaMonks, Hammerhead Productions, FunnyFlux, Blue Zoo Animation Studio, SHED, and Digital Dimension.
