The new Redshift Standard material meets new industry standards and is an easy-to-use solution. The update also allows for Redshift’s materials and photorealistic rendering on any system. The newly announced CPU version will give users more access to Redshift with lower-power machines or significant CPU render farms.

Redshift was recently ported to Apple Metal for Mac compatibility. Compatible with Cinema 4D, Houdini, 3ds Max, Maya, and more, its GPU speed has been top-notch.

Redshift has become one of the standard third-party render engines for 3D artists. New tools include cloth and rope dynamics. The emphasis of Release 26 includes enhancements to modeling, animation, simulation, and rendering. They continue to add Redshift integrations and now ZBrush retopology tools. There are a handful of more minor updates for Cinema 4D, which just went over a massive UI overhaul and updated last year. ZBrush is available as a standalone app starting at $29/month or part of Maxon One starting at $99/month. No additional details have been made at this time. After acquiring ZBrush earlier this year, Maxon has now made the industry-standard 3D modeling tool part of its Maxon One subscription without a price increase.
