I found some weird result of displacement map with Redshift. Elevation is
okay, but sometimes I could see weird connection of UVM. All UVM boders wasn't
smooth and I had no
idea how to fix it. Arnold has that option though : / But more option I
need is... hair @__@ and ICE strand

I'll repost what I said in the other thread....
We started using Redshift back in March and pretty much use it
exclusively now. Of course it all depends on the needs of the project (and
there are still some real
limitations). The RS dev team is top notch though. I'm really
excited to see how things will be at the end of this calendar year. Redshift
development is
progressing at a fantastic rate, and the pricing is very
competitive. For facilities, even small ones, it does require that you spend
some time considering your
hardware and infrastructure, especially if you want to start
converting CPU farms for GPU rendering, or augmenting them. Fortunately,
Redshift isn't licensed per GPU,
but per machine, and that should provide some breathing room.
To be honest (and I realize we have many Arnold folks here), here
at Magnetic we evaluated our rendering options (MR, vRay, 3Delight, Arnold). I
even started working
on a Soft-to-Modo pipeline. Among these Arnold was the clear
winner. That said, we felt that to be useful for us in production, Arnold was
too costly a solution for
us, both financially and in render time, /considering the kinds of
projects we do/ . Then Redshift came along and despite its infancy, really
turned our heads. We
cautiously began using it on productions, and it has since proven
itself for us.
Again, it all depends on what kind of project you're working on!
You need to evaluate it for yourself of course, but for smaller houses like us,
it allows us to
produce better looking content faster, while staying in Softimage.
And in this economy, we can't argue with that.

I've been using it along side Arnold for quite a while now. I just
finished a project for CES entirely in Redshift.
I think Redshift falls more into the category of a VRay competitor
rather than Arnold. Redshift isn't open the way Arnold is & I don't think they
intend it to be.
I've found it to be extremely fast and stable in most cases, but
being just out of alpha there are times when it's warts show.
For $100, it's certainly worth a test drive.

So..Redshift3D enthusiasts...post here.
I think we will benefit the group, as a whole, if we spread the
word on this
amazing GPU rendering company. They have made my workflow SO
much faster.
