There are only a handful of specific nodes that are unique to Redshift3D. Everything else is exactly like you are used to in the Materials (nodes) in Softimage. They did a great job making it almost seamless....
a unique example... if you want to bumpmap some object, you would select the Redshift bumpmap node, instead of the regular mentalray bumpmap node. That is one of the nodes that is specific to Redshift. And you would plug the outpuit directly into the Material input, not the shader. On the pass, or scene, you specify the Redshift render instead of Mentalray and you also need to adjust the render settings. The default gamma is set to 2.2, and in most cases you should change that to 1.0. Other than that, the options are very similar to what you are used to with Sorry for the rambling description instead of a decent tutorial, but they are working on a set of tutorials right now, and should be available soon. You will not take long to adapt to this, I found it extremely easy to use. The docs <http://docs.redshift3d.com/Default.html> are very complete.
