What people are saying
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had no experience in using Redshift before. I had no experience in using Redshift render before this tutorial. Gotta say, it's pretty amazing to light your first scene, to use materials that you created, to push the render button and get a good looking image. Thanks Derek, keep 'em coming!
Theo Nistor
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good for an introduction to Redshift. Really good tutorial for an introduction to Redshift. I've not been doing 3D long and Derek really takes an exceptionally daunting bit of software and gives you a well grounded gentle introduction to it.
Ed Tritton
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally! A follow along series that really helps break down Redshift Finally! A follow along series that really helps break down RS. I'm about to take the next one "Demystifying RS materials" and really look forward to it. Thanks for the clear instructions, it really helped a great deal. I look forward to more!
Avery Kalemba
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Derek makes a good job of teaching you the basics. I think Redshift is a powerful render engine and there is a lot to be discovered, but Derek makes a good job of teaching you some of the basics to get sailing on your way.
