Studio 20242 Redshift 3524 ((link)): Maxon Cinema 4d

The combination of Maxon Cinema 4D 2024.2 Redshift 3.5.24 represents a significant mid-cycle update in Maxon’s 2024 release roadmap. Released between late 2023 and early 2024, these versions specifically focused on refining simulation tools and enhancing rendering performance, particularly for Apple hardware. Cinema 4D 2024.2: Enhanced Simulations Released on December 11, 2023

  • Confirm material type being used is Redshift-compatible. Convert C4D node materials or rebuild in RS nodes when artifacts appear.

  1. Update your Drivers: Redshift 3524 requires NVIDIA Studio Driver 551.61 or newer (or AMD equivalent). Older drivers will throw CUDA errors.
  2. Texture Cache: Go to Edit > Preferences > Redshift > Memory. Set "Texture Cache" to a separate NVMe drive. Do not leave it on default.
  3. Hybrid Settings: In the Redshift Render Settings, under System, enable "Hybrid Rendering" but set "Fallback to CPU" to "Texture Only." This prevents the slow CPU from bottlenecking your fast GPU on geometry calculations.

Default Renderer

: In the 2024 version, Redshift is the default renderer for Cinema 4D. The combination of Maxon Cinema 4D 2024

  • Redshift 3524 integration: The volumetrics rendering has been overhauled. Previously, rendering Pyro simulations in Redshift caused "banding" artifacts. Version 3524 introduces native 16-bit per channel volume rendering, eliminating posterization in smoke gradients.

Improved Viewport Performance

: The performance of RSLights and scene scanning within the Cinema 4D viewport was significantly improved.
