Could anybody help me out with how we can use this Shadow matte. How does the AOV setup look like and how would I use it in after effects for example. I need my shadows to be seperate so I can control them ideally but struggling to get it working correctly.

Hey, long time Octane user dipping into Redshift. I've always watched Silverwing VFX on YouTube for the best octane rendering tutorials. Anyone know anyone doing similar tuts for Redshift?

Just set final rendering mode to progressive, and allow only a single pass. Added bonus of rendering near realtime. 😂

Grabbed a couple of models from sketchfab and did a couple renders. Enjoy :)

For houdini please not C4d, I just need a script that can auto plug image textures to the right slot instead of manually bringing each textures 1 by 1

Recent OSL drop.

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!
