Maxon now fully supports AMD Radeon™ GPUs with a HIP¹-based version of Redshift 3.6.0
A versatile all-round 3D modeling, animation, simulation and rendering solution, Cinema 4D™ from Maxon produces stunning results whether you are working on your own or in a team, making it a staple of CG artists in a wide range of fields, from design and visualization to motion graphics and visual effects. AMD Radeon™ PRO workstation graphics cards are optimized, tested, and certified by AMD, giving you the right balance of performance and reliability when using Cinema 4D in your workflow.

AMD worked closely with Maxon to help accelerate rendering workflows for Cinema 4D™ with AMD's HIP (Heterogeneous-Compute Interface for Portability) technology to enable the Redshift renderer to support recent AMD graphics cards. Redshift is Maxon’s powerful production renderer and integrates tightly with Cinema 4D in the viewport. CPU rendering is available to all Cinema 4D users, while Redshift subscribers can now also take advantage of the power of one or multiple AMD GPUs to accelerate even more complex renders.
The world's first fully GPU-accelerated biased renderer3, Redshift accelerates workflows in fields as diverse as product visualization, motion design, broadcast graphics and visual effects, thanks to its combination of raw render speed and the ability to handle complex production data. As well as Cinema 4D itself, it integrates with key applications including Autodesk 3ds Max & Maya, Houdini, and Blender.
Redshift now supports a range of AMD GPUs, including the powerful workstation cards of the AMD Radeon PRO W7000 Series graphics. With its 48GB of GDDR6 memory, the top-of-the-line Radeon PRO W7900 GPU can render even large visualization scenes or complex visual effects shots, making it a great partner for Redshift on demanding production projects.
With support for soft shadows, reflections and refractions, screen-space ambient occlusion and depth of field, Cinema 4D's DirectX®-based viewport provides a high-quality interactive preview of your scene. Powerful GPUs, such as the AMD Radeon PRO W7000 Series graphics, help generate frame rates that are sufficiently high even when working with dense 3D models or complex scenes.
Take advantage of exceptional performance in intensive non-3D tasks such as effects processing and video rendering. AMD Radeon PRO GPUs feature powerful compute performance to handle such advanced effects like bullet dynamics in Cinema 4D.
Applying high-resolution textures and more complex lighting techniques to your scenes represent yet another challenge for your system since data sizes increase quickly as you add more realism. AMD Radeon PRO graphics cards feature up to 48GB of fast GDDR6 memory and PCIe® 4.0. This results in a memory bandwidth of up to 512GB/s allowing even the largest textures to be loaded into the frame buffer at high speed and without slowing down your workflow.
Keeping full visual control of your Cinema 4D workflow becomes increasingly challenging when using supporting apps like Adobe After Effects or Adobe Photoshop at the same time. AMD Radeon PRO W7000 Series graphics cards feature up to four display outputs for advanced multi-monitor and ultra-wide display set-ups at up to 8K resolution. Run your 3D viewport on your center display and your palette, menus as well as any supporting apps on two adjacent screens.
Powerful applications like Cinema 4D need equally powerful GPUs. With their combination of raw compute power, high GPU memory capacity and rigorous testing, AMD Radeon PRO W7000 Series graphics cards are ideal for both individual artists and studios of all sizes, with solutions tailored to workloads of all types.
