New updates in Maxon Redshift 2025
On 11th September, Maxon released Reshift 2025, continued to expand and enable users to use the power of the renderer for the creative horizons and photorealistic and non-photorealistic rendering. On this version, there are many exciting features like Brute Force caustics, non-photorealistic rendering toolset, new Volume Depth AOV pass, etc. In this version, let iRender check new updates in Maxon Redshift 2025 with you.
New version numbering and system requirements
Before, Maxon would name the version number as Redshift 3.6 or 3.5, etc. But now, Redshift 2025.0 is a change of version numbering for the software.
It also marks the first change to the versions of host applications supported for quite some time, with Redshift now requiring slightly newer versions of Blender, Cinema 4D, Houdini and Katana.
Also, Redshift GPU is now included with every new subscription of Cinema 4D.
New Brute Force mode and Global Caustics setting
A new updates of Redshift 2025.0 is the caustics system. It now supports easy Brute Force caustics, helping users to setup beautiful, realistic patterns of light passing through glass, gems, and other translucent surfaces, achieve better results with large light sources like Dome or Area lights than the existing Photon Mapped caustics.
Caustics can also now be enabled or disabled via a single scene-wide Global Caustics setting.
NPR: more customizable outline rendering and tonemap patterns
In Redshift 2025.0 we got new features such as Contour tone mapping, enabling users to assign patterns or color gradients to toon outlines; and Pen and Pencil modes to give outlines a more hand-drawn look.
Additionally, the Tonemap Pattern shader now supports custom inputs, allowing you to use custom textures to control hatching and half-tone pattern effects in non-photorealistic renders.
Other changes
There are some other changes such as a new Volume Depth AOV. Like the existing Depth AOV, it generates a Z-depth pass, but is designed specifically for VDB volumes, like clouds or smoke.
The Sprite Node now accepts procedural shaders as an input, making it possible to generate stencile textures procedurally, rather than having to load an external texture.
Price and system requirements
Redshift 2025.0 is compatible with Windows 10+, glibc 2.17+ Linux and macOS 13.3+.
The renderer is compatible with 3ds Max 2018+, Blender 3.1+, Cinema 4D R25+, Houdini 18.5+, Katana 4.5+ and Maya 2018+ (Maya 2022+ on Linux).
Redshift 2025.0 is rental-only, with subscriptions costing $45/month or $264/year.
