Overview
editAccording to the developer's claim, Redshift is the first 3D renderer with full GPU acceleration on the market. It was initially released in 2014 by Redshift Rendering Technologies Inc.[2][3]
In 2017 Redshift experimented with a virtual reality input user interface, initially tailored for architects.[4]
In 2019 the Redshift Rendering Technologies Inc. was acquired along with all rights on its software product by the German 3D software company Maxon, the developer of Cinema 4D.[3]
On 13 April 2021 the software received its first version for macOS, natively supporting both Apple M1 GPU and AMD GPUs on Intel-based macs.[5] To do so, the port utilises the Apple Metal API.[6]
