While primarily a C4D article, it is worth noting that the Houdini plugin for Redshift 3.5.24 received major quality-of-life improvements, including the ability to render both regular and deep AOVs from a single ROP without reloading the scene.
Cinema 4D 2024.2 introduces several updates designed to streamline the creative process and improve scene interaction.
The amber light of a setting sun (a distant directional light with a warm temperature) cut through the dust motes. It caught the sharp edges of the falling masonry. The wet obsidian monolith reflected the ruin, distorted and fractured.
Redshift 3.5.24 continues to optimize the rendering experience with a focus on speed and multi-platform compatibility. Apple M3 Hardware Ray Tracing Maxon CINEMA 4D Studio 2024.2 Redshift 3.5.24
: Artists can now override global damping settings directly on Rigid Body, Soft Body, Cloth, Rope, and Balloon tags for more precise control.
Small preview thumbnails render directly inside individual material nodes, making it easy to track complex procedural noise or math operations before they reach the final output surface. Hardware and System Requirements
The node-based capsule system continues to mature, bridging the gap between procedural modeling and traditional workflows. While primarily a C4D article, it is worth
The unified simulation system receives updates, allowing rigid bodies to interact seamlessly with cloths, soft bodies, and ropes. This enables complex multi-physics interactions within a single framework.

Redshift 3.5.24 continues its trend of bringing CPU and GPU feature parity closer together while pushing the boundaries of raw render speeds and memory management. Advanced Shading and Materials It caught the sharp edges of the falling masonry
Artists can simulate a low-resolution proxy for fast timing adjustments, then add high-fidelity noise and detail during the final cache phase.
This was the final frame. The last shot of the film. The culmination of a year of work, powered by the silent, invisible logic of code.
The designer was tasked with creating a high-energy scene featuring heavy machinery crashing through a digital forest. In older versions, managing the chaotic physics of rigid bodies while trying to get a photorealistic preview was a slow, crashing nightmare. The Solution: 2024.2’s New Core
Cinema 4D’s native Node Editor hosts Redshift materials flawlessly. You can easily construct complex networks of textures, noises, and utilities using standard C4D workflows. 4. Hardware and System Requirements
