In this workshop, we’ll break down how to create beautiful, high-quality renders in Redshift for motion designers, including techniques to achieve better realism and more stylised renders.

We’ll start with exploring how to build soft, clean lighting, inspired by the aesthetic seen in the latest Microsoft campaigns. You’ll learn how to use light shaders and subtle techniques to add depth, contrast and style to your scenes.

From there, we’ll dive into advanced material creation, covering techniques for procedural gradients and layered materials, subsurface scattering, material and displacement blending, and building custom procedural masks for unique effects.

Finally, we’ll look at render settings and optimisation, focussing on how to balance quality and performance, especially when working with SSS, transmission and other demanding effects.
