Maxon Cinema 4d Studio 2024.2 Redshift 3.5.24 |link| — Working

Addressed issues where simulations did not respect scale or where objects passed through each other during complex setups like "ball and cup" simulations.

Solid objects can now be scaled when animated by effectors while maintaining realistic physical interactions.

: The headline feature is native support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing on Apple M3 processors (iMac and MacBook Pro), which provides significant performance boosts for final-quality rendering.

This update prioritised art-direction and workflow efficiency across its simulation and modeling toolsets:

CINEMA 4D Studio 2024.2 combined with Redshift 3.5.24 delivers a mature, efficient GPU-driven pipeline suitable for demanding production work. The release focuses on stability, performance refinements, and better handling of larger scenes—making it a strong option for artists looking to maintain fast iterations without compromising final render quality.

Redshift 3.5.24 is the latest version of the powerful GPU-accelerated rendering engine, developed by Redshift (acquired by Maxon). Integrated into CINEMA 4D, Redshift offers artists and designers an unrivaled rendering performance, capable of handling complex scenes with millions of polygons, high-resolution textures, and intricate lighting setups.

The 2024.2 update focuses on providing fine-grained control over complex simulations and streamlining modern material exchanges, making it highly recommended for all 2024 users.

Artists can now set the Time Scale for Density, Color, Rest Grid, Temperature, and Fuel, providing refined control over the behavior of simulations. The Fuel Contingent parameter is added to support more advanced UpRes pyro simulations.

When you combine with Redshift 3.5.24 , you get a cohesive ecosystem where simulation and rendering work as one. The ability to simulate dynamic pyro from deforming geometry and immediately render it using the lightning-fast Redshift engine is a game-changer for VFX artists and motion designers. Key advantages include:

Primary GI: Brute Force (2 bounces) Secondary GI: Brute Force (1 bounce) or Irradiance Point Cloud (faster)
