Description
Overview
Maxon Redshift for Architects brings visual feedback into the BIM environment where your ideas take shape.
Study light, materials and atmosphere while you work. When the story is ready, move from immediate previews to polished final images through the same Redshift-powered workflow.
Capabilities
- Real-time Visualization: Preview the design as you work, so lighting and material choices can inform the next move.
- Photorealistic Rendering: Bring real-world lighting, natural reflections, and material depth to cinematic final images. Redshift uses ray tracing to simulate how light interacts with surfaces, bringing greater depth and realism to your scenes.
- Built for BIM projects: Keep detailed architectural models in the same design-to-visualization flow.
- Assets and Materials: Add detail with a library of architectural assets and materials built for Redshift.
- Views and variation: Explore camera, sky, visibility, season and scattering choices as the visual story develops.
- Stills and walkthroughs: Move from design exploration toward immersive presentations and high-end visual output.
Workflow
One Idea, more ways to see it.
Keep the design conversation moving inside Archicad, from the first visual check to a finished image.
- Design in context: Stay with the BIM model as your architecture changes.
- Explore visually: Use real-time feedback to refine light, materials and atmosphere.
- Render the story: Use Redshift quality for presentation stills and immersive visuals.
Maxon Ecosystem
When a project calls for more, carry the vision forward.
The Redshift workflow is designed to connect architectural work with Cinema 4D for specialist visualization. Shared technology lets projects, assets and materials move into a broader creative pipeline. That opens the door to advanced animation, lighting and compositing work without losing the intent developed during design.
