Cameras

Redshift supports all commonly used camera types, as well advanced controls for physical camera effects.

 

Multiple camera lens types

Fisheye, spherical, cylindrical cameras, lens distortion.

VR

Stereo Spherical rendering for VR applications.

Physical lens effects

Familiar photographic exposure controls such as ISO, shutter, vignette, color balance and textured bokeh depth-of-field.

 

AOVs

Redshift supports a comprehensive set of AOVs for the most demanding post-production compositing needs.

 

Deep and Layered EXR support

For 3d compositing and efficient management of AOVs.

Many AOV Types

Material shading components (albedo, diffuse, reflections etc), depth, motion vectors, puzzle-matte and many more.

 

Houdini

 

Hair and Fur

Support of the Houdini curve primitives, that are extracted as efficient Redshift hair objects.

Houdini primitives

Automatic and configurable tessellation of the Houdini primitive surfaces (primitives, nurbs, etc.).

Volumes

Direct rendering of OpenVDB files and the Houdini Volume and VDB primitives. Support of volume instancing and velocity grids.

Strands

Render of any kind of Houdini primitive as Redshift strands.

Instancing/particles

Support of the Houdini instancing, including the Instance OBJ node, and the "instance" and "instancepath" attributes, extracted as mesh instances or particle point clouds.

Non-GUI Tools

The plugin is compatible with all the Houdini non-GUI tools (hython, hscript, etc.) and includes a set of custom HScript commands to control the renderer.

What our customers are saying

"We tested various new renderers and quickly realized that Redshift was fast, achieved the look we wanted and, most importantly, was production ready, especially since it was available for all of these DCCs – that was a big win!"

 

– Shimon Cohen, Blizzard Entertainment

 

"With the Henson Digital Puppetry Studio, and with the support of Redshift, we’re able to continue in the original spirit of Jim Henson, continually finding new ways to explore, grow, and innovate."

 

– Steffen Wild, Jim Henson Creature Shop

 

"Redshift allowed us to maintain a consistent level of quality throughout all shots, while still achieving much faster render times than the year prior. Redshift truly helped keep this project on track, with a higher overall quality."

 

– Francois Beaudry, Digital Dimension
