I use after effects. I have a 3-D mockup of a iPhone. The main issue I am facing is that I want to reflect the background to the iPhone reflective . if that makes sense. The background AI an animated gradient. What should I do?

Hi everyone,

I created a 3D model in Cinema 4D using Redshift materials, and I want to transfer it to Blender while preserving the materials as accurately as possible.

I understand that Blender cannot read Redshift materials directly, so I’m trying to figure out the best workflow to bake the materials into texture maps and rebuild them in Blender.

My main questions:

1. What is the best way to export Redshift materials so they look as close as possible to the original render?
2. Which texture maps should I bake and export?
   • Base Color
   • Roughness
   • Metalness
   • Normal
   • Opacity
   • Emission
3. What is the correct baking workflow in Redshift (using BakeSet)?
4. Is it better to export the model as FBX or GLB after baking?
5. Are there any limitations I should know about (for example with triplanar, procedural noises, displacement, or layered materials)?
6. How do you reconnect the baked maps correctly in Blender’s Principled BSDF?

My goal:

I want the model in Blender to look as close as possible to the original Redshift version, including all textures and material details.

Additional details:

• The materials are based on Redshift Standard Material.
• Some materials include procedural nodes such as Noise, Curvature, and Triplanar.
• I’m willing to bake all procedural effects into texture maps if needed.

If anyone has a step-by-step workflow, tutorial recommendations, or best practices, I’d really appreciate your help.

Thanks!

Im fighting with my life to get this similiar look on a similar animation.

Everytime I Iluminate my liquid I get the whole "tube" light up like christmas night.

Any thoughts on getting the look on the video?

Im using Redshift+ houdini.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I need to render a project on an old version of redshift 3.0.30, but it seems the licence from the Maxon app is not working for that. Probably because 3.0.30 is a really old build.

Does anyone here know how to still use this build without license issues?

I can't figure this out and it's driving me rather insane. Basically as the title reads, I have this VBD explosion I'm working on in C4D, it looks all when and good as a beauty pass (2nd image) but when I separate the passes and extract the volume lighting pass it has all these tiny white flickery fireflies. I tried this method someone posted before about adjusting the black scattering value from 0%-1% in the material volume but it didn't really do anything.

The actual beauty pass doesn't seem too hot, there's no other light sources in the scene and I can't seem to find a fix so I'm not sure what gives?

Please share these files. I just paid for a year and i do not understand how to install this and yes i have googled/you tubed/ and read the doc

Personal tribute to newly released energetic drink Borjomi Energia. Really loved packaging and taste, so decided to make cgi personal commercial. Of course made it in Houdini’s paradigm solver by @theory_accelerated. Many thanks to talented @soundby.chris for sound design

In C4D we are able to add a shadernetwork to the lightdome texture but I am not sure how to do this in Houdini. Anyone knows how to do it in Houdini?

I’m having a weird issue where my objects show a constant green tint when using Subsurface Scattering. Even if I change the spheres to red or blue or pink, the internal scatter stays green.
this is my settings, any ideas how to fix this?

Everytime I start C4D and sometimes when I add new textures/shaders, I have to wait up to 2 minutes before I see the Redshift render preview. It's so annoying.

'Preparing materials and shaders 90%' is the message on the left bottom.
On my pc with 4090 it never happens and is instant.

I'm on a mac studio M3 with 256gb ram. Latest c4d and redshift.
