  • Octane or Redshift?

    Posted by joanna on October 8, 2024 at 6:08 am

    Hello,

    I know there are plenty of Octane tutorials on CGShortcuts site. I just wondered if people are using Octane or Redshift which now is a part of C4D? Or any other renderers, like Arnold?

    All 3 are very capable renderers, and all 3 work in very similar ways, so you should be able to go from one to the other pretty easiliy if you ever needed to.

    Here’s a few reasons I switched to Redshift:

    1. It’s just as fast (if not faster in some cases) as Octane.

    2. It’s the most popular and widely used Renderer for Cinema 4D at studios around the world.

    3. It’s deeply integrated into Cinema 4D (and is developed directly by Maxon).

    4. It’s a Biased Renderer, meaning it’s very easy to art direct and get the exact look you’re after which is great in a production environment.

    We’re trying to help as many people as we can in C4D so it made sense for us to switch to Redshift (plus we actually find it easier and more intuitive to use)

      Ok, good to know! That makes sense since Redshift comes with C4D.
