Legacy Redshift Material still works, but RS Standard Material (v3.5+) is recommended:

Network rendering has been re-engineered. With Redshift 3.5.24, Team Render now supports differential scene loading. If you have 10 render nodes, each node only loads the unique geometry it needs, rather than duplicating the entire scene VRAM 10 times. For a production scene using 16GB of textures, this reduces network memory overhead by up to 60%. Maxon CINEMA 4D Studio 2024.2 Redshift 3.5.24
For those using Redshift for high-end particle or pyro simulations, the 2024.2 node graph is a game-changer. Memory fragmentation has been reduced by approximately 30% when handling complex particle systems. This means you can simulate millions of emissive particles and render them via Redshift’s volume grid without crashing.
| Aspect | Status | |--------|--------| | Official pairing | ✅ Fully compatible – Redshift 3.5.x is the native renderer for C4D 2024.x | | GPU rendering | ✅ Works (NVIDIA CUDA, NVIDIA OptiX, Apple Metal, AMD) | | CPU fallback | ⚠️ Limited – Full CPU mode matured in Redshift 3.5.x but is slower than GPU | | M1/M2/M3 Macs | ✅ Supported (Metal backend) | | Known issues | Minor: Some users reported viewport lag with very heavy Redshift proxies in 2024.2; solved by updating to 2024.4.x or later. | Legacy Redshift Material still works, but RS Standard
The "Unified" Workflow The synergy between C4D 2024.2 and Redshift 3.5.24 is defined by Pyro and Simulation.
Who is this for?
The 2024.2 update introduces a robust camera-based projection modeling workflow. Artists can now project high-resolution textures and geometry details onto low-poly base meshes directly within the viewport. When combined with Redshift 3.5.24’s decal and projection shaders, this creates a non-destructive texturing powerhouse.
Redshift 3.5.24 is designed to work hand-in-glove with Cinema 4D 2024. It focuses on rendering logic and material fidelity. Create : Create > Redshift > Materials >
