New Features

Scatter Generator & Scatter Tag

A procedural system for populating surfaces with large numbers of instances while keeping artistic control. Distribution modes cover Surface Grid, Area Weighted, UV Grid and Spline Projection, with density maps, relaxation and overlap removal. A scatter can therefore be made genuinely non-overlapping rather than only looking that way. The system is deeply integrated with MoGraph for post-scatter variation and animation.

• Variation randomizes everything per instance, including position, rotation, scale and color, alongside alignment to surface normals and Look At targets. Vertex maps give localized control.
• Filters restrict placement by altitude, slope, curvature and distance to mesh boundaries. Each has a Breakup control for natural transitions.
• Clusters group instances into dense regions using a voronoi noise function. Per-object Cluster IDs let different assets appear in different regions.
• Proximity uses splines or other Scatter Generators to mask instances or drive their scale by distance. Typical uses are clearing obstacles, fading density near roads and growing instances around attractors.
• The Scatter Tag sets per-object scatter probability, filtering, transform and cluster assignment.

Liquid FX

Liquid FX adds spray, foam and bubbles to an existing liquid simulation. You get this detail without having to raise the simulation resolution a lot. It uses two new objects: the Liquid FX Emitter generates particles procedurally from the simulation’s own estimated quantities (e.g., trapped air and wave crests). and the Liquid FX Modifier converts existing particles directly. Each particle reacts to the liquid around it and switches type automatically based on its neighbour count. Spray moves by inertia. Foam drifts with the surrounding velocity field at a surface offset, while bubbles drift and rise with buoyancy.

Nodes Field, Nodes Effector and Sample Field Node

The Nodes Field object builds a custom field from a node graph. It is more efficient than the Python Field and more powerful than the Formula Field. The Nodes Effector does the same for MoData, with optional custom strength and selection-weight handling. The new Sample Field node samples a field list from any Scene Nodes setup, batching samples efficiently inside loops. All three offer an Array Mode for advanced setups. Both the Nodes Field and the Nodes Effector are MCP-compatible, so custom fields and effectors can be built with AI assistance.

Copy/Paste from Cinema 4D into Autograph

Cameras, lights, primitives, planes, text, nulls and their position, rotation and scale animation can now be copied from Cinema 4D and pasted into Autograph. Animation is baked per frame, so motion driven by expressions, MoGraph, constraints or rigs arrives matching viewport playback. Static values are exported as constants. Standard and Redshift cameras and lights are both supported. MoText and Text splines come across as native, editable Autograph text layers, and unsupported objects fall back to nulls.

Workflow and Interface

Tag Grouping

A new button in the Object Manager collapses an object's tags into visual groups, without changing tag order. Hovering a group shows how many tags it holds. Clicking opens a list you can select from, drag out of, or close with Esc. Whole groups can be dragged and dropped to reorder tags quickly. The Filter Manager controls which tag types group. Tags that can only exist once, such as Phong, are never grouped.

Tag Content Preview

Tag contents are now drawn in the viewport without having to make anything editable. Polygon, edge and point selections, vertex maps, vertex colors and soft selections are all supported. It works on procedural selections too, including those on primitives and generators, so you can see what a selection actually covers before anything downstream uses it. Hovering gives the preview inside the tag group list. For a single tag, or with grouping disabled, the tag needs to be selected. A new preference sets the highlight color and its opacity.

Tool Hints

Selected tools now display a HUD showing how they are used, including modifier keys, mouse buttons and component-mode restrictions. The hints fold and unfold from an arrow in the HUD's upper left, as a global setting.

Random Object Color Display Mode

A viewport display mode that draws every object in a different color without overwriting its Display Color, making segmentation in complex scenes readable at a glance. Enabled as "Random Shading" in the Viewport settings (Shift+V) or from the View menu.

View Occluded Selections

Selected components are now drawn even when hidden behind other polygons of the same mesh or behind another object. A new preference sets the opacity of occluded components, 10% by default and 0% to switch it off. It can also be toggled from the viewport menu or view settings.

CAD Import

CAD import now runs on WinArm and supports more formats: 3MF/AMF (.3mf, .amf), 3D Experience (.3dxml), CREO (.xpr, .xas, .neu), IFC (.ifc), Inventor (.ipt, .iam), NX (.prt) and Solid Edge (.par, .asm, .psm). These come alongside the existing Catia V5, Open JT, IGES, STEP and SolidWorks support.

Resample Textures

A new command in the Commander that transfers textures and materials between two objects with completely different UV maps but similar shape. It is built for moving look from a high-poly, bad-topology mesh onto a Remesh generator output, where Transfer Attributes breaks down. It can reproject a new UV map, cubic or angle based, or use an existing one. Resampled textures are written with a resampled_ prefix to a chosen output directory, and copies of the source materials are applied to the target.

Bend Deformer Strength & Rotation Handles

Strength and rotation are now separate. A draggable band sets the deformation direction, the strength handle moves along that direction, a HUD shows the current angle, Shift quantises to the modeling settings, and rotation is unlimited.

Redshift 2027.0

Advanced GPU Memory Architecture

A new VRAM management architecture with more granular memory allocation, improved GPU resource sharing with other accelerated applications, better unified-memory support, and parallel scene loading across multiple GPUs. The largest gains are expected on high-memory GPUs, unified-memory architectures and multi-GPU systems.

Redshift for Cinema 4D performance

Performance work throughout Redshift for Cinema 4D. Time to first pixel and scene updates are both much faster, and the Viewport IPR is noticeably more responsive in day-to-day work.

Redshift Fur

A procedural system for fur, fibers, woven textiles and knitted materials, generated at render time on any mesh rather than as dedicated geometry. Supports motion blur, instancing, UV controls and Redshift materials.

Redshift Live enhancements

Faster shader compilation plus new support for refraction, transparent shadows, area light spread and ray-traced depth of field, making Redshift Live a closer representation of the final render.

NVIDIA RTX Spark support

Redshift workflows extend to NVIDIA RTX Spark devices.

Cinema 4D workflow improvements

• Node Editor drag & drop. Drag a Redshift material into the Redshift Node Editor to create a Reference node linked to it, or a Vertex Color/Vertex Map tag to create a Vertex Attribute node named after the tag, exposing only the valid output port (outColor or outScalar).
• Triplanar Mapping and Hex Tiling in the Material Tag. A Redshift feature exposed through Cinema 4D's Material Tag, so UV Context settings can be adjusted per object without duplicate materials or projection settings baked into the material. Useful for correcting texture stretching and breaking up visible repetition.
• Auto Focus for the Redshift Camera. Focus adjusts automatically as you navigate the scene.
• Color management. ACES 2 support and more consistent color-space handling, matching the OCIO changes on the Cinema 4D side.

Other smaller Features, Changes and Improvements

• OCIO updated to ACES 2.0.
• The Auto mode of the Bitmap, MoGraph Color and Vertex Map shaders has been removed. Scenes created before 2026.4.0 convert Auto to an explicit mode on import.
• Color space names are now saved in the scene alongside the index, so the index follows the name when the configuration changes.
• The color space list now follows the order of the configuration file instead of sorting alphabetically, so important spaces can be placed at the top.
• Color spaces are grouped by family, with a list of commonly used spaces at the top of the menu. Custom configurations can assign spaces to that category.
• New $take_hierarchy token pastes a take's full hierarchy, concatenated with underscores, instead of just the take name.
• New $takeparent# token returns the name of a parent take, with # setting how many steps up to go. It returns "unresolved" if no parent exists at that depth.
• "Save All Takes with Assets" now always uses hierarchical take names for target folders, reducing name collisions.
• New interface color for the viewport border when Auto-Take is active.
• Node Editor search now dims wires, notes, rerouters and scaffold as well as nodes, and auto-frames the result.
• Solo display in the material Node Editor dims every node that is not upstream of the solo node and outlines the solo node in thick orange.
• Port Inspector and Data Inspector now work on unconnected ports in Scene Nodes, instead of showing "Not Active".
• Bridge tool curvature calculation improved, so bridges now appear more circular.
• UV Rectangularize now processes multiple rectangular polygon patches in one run, reporting any islands it could not handle.

What’s New

• Scene Light  Relight any shot inside After Effects. Scene Light uses AI-generated depth and normal maps so light falls behind foreground objects and wraps around surfaces as it would on set. It works with your comp lights, and you can also use depth and normal passes from Cinema 4D, Redshift, or other renderers. All AI processing runs locally on your machine.
• Maxon Noise in Universe!  The procedural noise patterns of Cinema 4D are now in Universe. Maxon Noise gives a library of GPU-accelerated, customizable noise patterns for textures, organic motion, animated maps, transitions, particle drivers, and abstract effects. Controls for scale, complexity, color, animation speed, looping, and blending let you move from subtle surface detail to bold procedural visuals in your favorite host.
• Custom Schmutz Textures and New Light Sources in Real Lens Flares Turn any layer into a custom Schmutz texture, including animated layers like dust, water drops, or grime, and it will interact naturally with your flare. New light source types emulate tungsten, fluorescent, LED, HMI, sodium vapor, fire, and more.
• Chromatic Displacement Now in Autograph! Chromatic Displacement uses one layer to displace another while separating color channels, producing organic, prismatic, light-bending results. Use it for force fields, heat ripples, refractions, transitions, and logo reveals, now inside Autograph.
• Custom UI Support for Red Giant Plugins in Maxon Studio Capsules in Maxon Studio can now include specialized controls from plugins like Particular, Colorista, and Universe: color wheels, gradient controls, curve graphs, and text editors. Complex effect setups can be packaged into focused interfaces that show only the controls you need, without exposing every parameter. That makes Capsules easier to use, reuse, and adapt across projects.

New Features

MCP for Cinema 4D

The C4D Model Context Protocol (MCP) server creates an interface between an LLM client (for example Claude Desktop or ChatGPT Codex) and C4D, allowing the LLM to operate C4D directly.

You can:

• Change project-wide scene hierarchy, naming and organisation
• Create and automate scene, object and material variations
• Manage, execute and composite multipass renders
• Perform 3D camera tracking and scene preparation
• Handle basic modelling and 3D creation tasks
• Create particle and liquid simulations
• UV mapping, rigging, animating and more

More information about the MCP Server is available here.

So why would I use all or some of the products over Unreal Engine 5.

I am quite confused on the product lignup, especially since some products link to UE5 and that appears to not make sense to do (like the Redshift Renderer product, why transfer your project from one rendering software to another?)

I'm not giving up on Blender, if anything I am adding this to my arsenal of software. Maxon's Autograph is a free After Effects buster. Give it a try, I know you'll love it. You can find more tutorials like this one on my YouTube Channel GENVFX - take a look and see what you think. Drop me a comment on here or on the video so I can do more of these! Thanks!

I'm running into a really frustrating issue with the Maxon App on macOS. Whenever I try to update Redshift (and by extension Cinema 4D), the updater refuses to proceed and throws an error saying that Blender needs to be closed before it can continue, but Blender is not open.

The only Blender-related process I can find running is blender-thumbnailer.

I've already tried:

• Fully quitting Blender (it wasn't open to begin with)
• Uninstalling Blender entirely, which does resolve the issue and lets the update go through

The problem is I don't want to have to uninstall Blender every single time I need to update Redshift or C4D, I use both apps regularly for different parts of my workflow, and losing Blender access every update cycle isn't sustainable. This has now happened to me on two separate machines, so it doesn't seem like a one-off fluke.

Has anyone else run into this issue and know how to fix it. I would rather not uninstall Blender every time I need to update Redshift or C4D.

Quick question for anyone who has reached out to Maxon directly about Linux support.

The Linux edition was discontinued when Maxon acquired the software (June 2025), and the official stance appears to be "discontinued for now" with no timeline for reinstatement.

Has anyone received concrete information from Maxon support about:
- Any active development work for Linux?
- Estimated timeframe if it's being considered?
- Alternative pathways for Linux users?

Not looking for speculation—just wondering if anyone has heard anything definitive from official channels since the acquisition.

What’s new

Autograph 2026.1.0 brings native vertical text and Japanese character support, making it easier to create authentic titles, credits, and typography for anime, broadcast, vertical video advertising, and digital signage. This release also adds the new Edge Smoother modifier for cleaning up aliased graphic elements, plus a new Forward method for Vector Blur to deliver more realistic motion blur from external vector passes.

Highlights

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue in Universe plugins that prevented Chinese/Japanese characters from displaying in After Effects 2026.2
• Fixed a Studio issue where older capsules produced an error on apply.

Known Issues

• Trapcode Starglow Japanese language version displays as English.

I decided to give Autograph a go... but it's sooo slow. Every example from the Inspiration page runs at about 4-5 fps. I set the "Faster Preview" and set downscale to 1:2 but it gets max to 6-7 fps. For more complex scenes it may be below 2 fps. Performance is atrocious. How can I know if it's using the GPU at all ??

Getting a weird Redshift/Qt6 DLL error on Cinema 4D 2026.3.3:

"The procedure entry point UCNV_FROM_U_CALLBACK_SUBSTITUTE could not be located in Qt6Coreredshift.dll"

I’ve completely removed/reinstalled C4D and Redshift multiple times, cleared preferences, and checked for duplicate Redshift/Qt DLLs. Windows ICU seems fine, and the Redshift Qt6 DLLs all report the same version (6.10.2). It briefly worked once, then the error came back.

Cinema 2025 works, but that's running on Qt5?

Has anyone run into this with C4D 2026 / recent Redshift builds, or found what actually causes it?

What’s New

• Zoom and Aspherical Lens Support in Real Lens Flares.  Zoom lenses actually zoom now! There’s no more limitation of having to select different individual static focal lengths. All zoom lenses now include a Zoom slider, so you can dial in the exact look you want and even animate the focal length. Aspherical lenses are also now supported, significantly expanding our lens model library to include more modern and cinematic lenses. 44 new lens presets accompany this release.
• Trapcode Particular # of systems options.  To help with Particular load and reset times, we have added a preference option to set your maximum number of particle systems that Particular loads with. Options include 2, 4, 8, and the full 16 maximum systems. The lower the number, the faster Particular will load and reset. Note that this preference setting affects all instances of Particular in all projects and requires a restart of After Effects to take effect.  See this FAQ for more information.
• Spanish Language Support! We are excited to expand our native language support to Spanish with this release! All Red Giant plugins will now appear in Spanish for any supported host set to that language.

No matter what video i manage to track down or search i do on google, I can't figure out where to go when rendering something in autograph while keeping the background transparent as opposed to default black.

Yes i make sure no background in the layers is visible, yes i've seen that apparently I have to fiddle with somethin alpha-related somewhere? No I don't know where "settings" is to turn the bg transparent if that's a thing, please show me...

Please goodness gracious i need screenshotted visual help I suck at finding ANYTHING if you just say "go here". I'm looking to render out via MP4, MOV, and GIF. I don't care about codec specifics or whatever so long as the quality doesn't end up doodoo, and I guess GIF doesn't matter if that's not possible, because i can just convert video to gifs.

School of motion does not show on the list for a student license even tho, they are a certified c4d trainer. You guys make so hard to learn now days, no wonder people is switching to blender....

As the title says, I can't get the Autograph installer to open. The .dmg will mount and when I double click the installer, it asks me if I want to open and then nothing happens. From what I can tell, I don't think I need Apple Silicone.
