Maxon Announced June Updates for Its Products

Maxon has announced this month's updates for its software, introducing Redshift for Maya 2024, RS camera and backplates for 3ds Max, Real Lens Flares for Adobe Premiere, and more.

Redshift

The GPU-accelerated renderer extends DCC support and features some improvements to memory management in Redshift CPU. 

• Redshift is now available for the latest version of Maya on Windows machines, with support for other operating systems coming soon.
• Redshift Camera and Backplates are now available in Redshift for 3DS Max. Now 3DS Max users can easily apply different backplates for each camera, either in-render or as a post-effect, with robust frame fitting and adjustment options.
• New material preset for Principled Hair added for Cinema 4D makes it even easier to get up and running with physically-based hair. More realistic hair with nuanced settings for texture and shape variation can now be created with just a few clicks in the Material Manager while Redshift is active.
• Redshift CPU rendering is now faster in all host software packages, with significantly lower memory requirements (50% on average). 
• General performance and stability updates for improved performance in 3DS Max, Cinema 4D and Houdini.
• Added support for animated vertex deformation with motion blur in Redshift for Blender.

VFX

• Real Lens Flares is now available in Premiere Pro. It works exactly the same as in After Effects, with the same highly detailed level of customization. 
• The upgrade to Supercomp now provides more realistic and beautiful Light Wrap, Reverse Light Wrap and Diffusion effects with more creative control.

Capsules

• There are twelve new Laubwerk Plant Assets – from trees like Maple and Cherry, to bushes like Lavender and Dutch Garlic to tropical stand-outs like the Kentia Palm. 
• A collection of 28 new Redshift ArchViz materials now makes it easy to render plastic objects. Great for everything from industrial design to architectural visualization.

The whole family of Maxon One products costs $149/month; yearly subscriptions are $99.91/month.
