Maxon Redshift Individual 1-Year Subscription

Redshift is the world’s first fully GPU-accelerated, biased renderer.

Redshift is a powerful GPU-accelerated renderer, built to meet the specific demands of contemporary high-end production rendering. Tailored to support creative individuals and studios of every size, Redshift offers a suite of powerful features and integrates with industry-standard CG applications.

Redshift is licensed per-machine with no limit on the number of GPUs*. No distinction is made between workstations and render nodes; 1 license is good for 1 machine.

Node-locked licenses are tied to a specific machine but are rehostable, that is they can be transferred from 1 machine to another using the Redshift licensing tool. Transferring a license requires a working internet connection on both the source andof the transfer at the time of the license transfer. 

Highlights

WORKS WITH YOUR SOFTWARE

In fact, Redshift works with a number of industry-standard applications for seamless integration into your pipeline:

• Maya
• Softimage
• 3DS Max
• Cinema 4D
• Houdini

CORE

Redshift has the features and uncompromising quality of a CPU renderer, but at GPU rendering speeds. Unlike other GPU renderers out there, it is a biased renderer that allows the user to adjust the quality of individual techniques in order to get the best performance/quality balance for their production.

Out of core geometry and textures

Redshift’s efficient memory management allows the rendering of scenes containing hundreds of millions of polygons, as well as TBs of texture data.

Global Illumination

Achieve blazingly fast indirect lighting using biased point-based GI techniques, as well as brute-force GI.

World-leading performance

Harnessing the raw power of the GPU, coupled with intelligent sampling techniques, it is the world’s faster renderer.

Redshift currently only supports CUDA-compatible Nvidia GPUs on Windows. Support for other GPU platforms (such as AMD GPUs) is planned for the future. Furthermore, support for Metal on macOS is currently in development.

Please see here to determine if your GPU supports compute capability 3.0.

To find out how the various GPUs compare against each other, please check out our “Benchmark Results” thread.

Equally important, we also recommend reading the “Hardware Considerations for Redshift” document.

We strongly recommend installing the free demo prior to purchasing Redshift to verify system compatibility and to ensure Redshift performs to your expectations.

All sales are final. NO REFUNDS.

*Integration plugins include support for Maya, 3ds Max, Softimage, Cinema 4D, Houdini, Katana and any future plugins.

**Maintenance includes technical support and all updates. After one year, you must extend your maintenance agreement for another year for $250 for Node-Locked and $300 for Floating to continue receiving updates and support. If you allow your maintenance to expire past the grace period, you must purchase a new license of Redshift at full retail price.
You have a grace period of one year to back-date renew your existing maintenance. However, your new maintenance cycle always begins on the date your existing maintenance expired. For example, if your maintenance expired April 10, 2020 and you purchase a maintenance extension on September 15, 2020, you are back-dating the start of your new agreement to April 10, 2020 and your new maintenance agreement will expire on April 10 2021.

+To take advantage of more than 8 GPUs on a single machine, you can launch multiple instances of Redshift each rendering a different job on a different subset of available GPUs.
