In addition, Redshift RT does not currently support multiple GPUs. Judging by the Redshift Trello board, its use in final-frame rendering would currently be quite limited: key features not yet supported include AOVs, motion blur, depth of field, subsurface scattering and displacement. Maxon describes RT as “perfect for artists to use during the development process of a project or even final render if the project does not need the same amount of fidelity as standard Redshift”. Public beta is suitable for look dev or less demanding final renders Maxon is now expanding the initial closed alpha to an open beta, making it possible for any registered user to test the new render mode, which is available in Redshift 3.0.56, the latest release. Interactive performance in Redshift RT is noticeably better than in Redshift’s existing interactive render preview, and the resulting image is less noisy. The 2020 demo, which you can see at 05:20 in the video above, showed Nvidia’s Attic USD test scene inside Redshift for Maya, running on a Razer gaming laptop with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 2080 Mobile GPU. It uses Microsoft’s DXR (DirectX Raytracing) API for hardware acceleration, so it is currently Windows-only. Previewed last year, Redshift RT is a hybrid rasterisation/ray tracing mode that provides near-real-time feedback on complex scenes, supporting the same materials and lights as the main Redshift renderer.

Maxon’s 2020 preview of Redshift RT, posted by concept artist and matte painter Saul Espinosa. The news was announced at the 3D and Motion Design Show, alongside updates to other Maxon apps, including Cinema 4D R25, Trapcode Suite 17, VFX Suite 2, Magic Bullet Suite 14 and Universe 5.

The much-anticipated new mode provides a near-real-time preview of a Redshift scene for look development and scene layout work, using a mixture of rasterisation and ray tracing. Maxon has made Redshift RT, the new real-time render mode in Redshift, its GPU production renderer for 3ds Max, Blender, Cinema 4D, Houdini and Maya, available in public beta. The firm has just made Redshift RT, the software’s new real-time preview mode, available as a public beta. New features from recent builds of Redshift, Maxon’s GPU production renderer.
