Real-time arch viz tool said to deliver physically accurate lighting, reflections, shadows, and materials
Maxon has launched Redshift for Revit, a new real time viz tool which allows architects to preview, refine and create realistic ray-traced architectural renderings without leaving their BIM environment. The integration is said to deliver physically accurate lighting, reflections, shadows, and materials, while remaining highly interactive.
The company also announced that Redshift for Graphisoft Archicad is now open for beta sign-ups, joining the already shipping Redshift for Vectorworks to round out the Redshift for Archviz family.
With Redshift for Revit, Maxon is also introducing three new platform features. This includes Depth of Field, which mimicks real-world camera effects in real time; AI Context-Aware Library Search, which analyses the current view and suggests suitable assets; and Maxon Plants Smart Transfer, which is designed to make it easier to bring in high-quality vegetation assets.
Redshift for Archviz also allows users to export projects directly to Cinema 4D. Geometry, materials, cameras, and basic lighting are said to transfer well, allowing users to continue refining scenes, materials, and lighting at a higher level of control or to add animation and simulation.
