I just installed Redshift trial version & was having trouble getting it to work but thanks to this tutorial it's now working. Awesome. Keep up the good work.
thank you so much ! i was stuck on the problem of quixel bridge megascan material not showing up in redshift render. now i know it's because i miss the uv texture node for my grid! thank you so much!!!
Very useful! Good sound! Good voice acting. Thank you very much! It would be grate, if you make next tutorial video for Mantra and Principled Shader :)
Thank you. I don't use Mantra so I'm probably not the most qualified to teach others how to use it...however my friend Arise Works has an excellent series on Mantra that I would encourage you to check out: th-cam.com/channels/HiC90BCBMhk-JxaM52GD4A.htmlvideos
Hi Kays is Gamma Overrides still a thing? I don't see that in my Redshift like where you have it, also "Compute Tangents from UV" in Redshift Tab doesn't exist anymore. Thank you.
Great tutorial. Is there a chance of getting one that covers the settings of redshift in Houdini? Brute force, global illumination, how to speed up renderings, etc :)
Thank you. Unfortunately I stopped using Redshift lately due to several reasons. There are some decent tutorials for optimizing Redshift settings here: th-cam.com/users/SaulEspinosavideos
@@RightBrainedTutorials thank you very much for the link. Could you tell me, why you stopped using it? Because I'm looking for a third party render engine for Houdini at the moment and I'm open for any recommendations :)
@@septic07 Without going too much into detail, my parting of ways with Redshift was due to a noticeable shift in release schedule and operations since they were acquired by Maxon a couple of years ago, as well as a struggle to overcome the Redshift "look" which in my opinion is not very realistic. There are some pros and cons to all engines for sure, but at the moment my recommendation for CPU-based engine in Houdini would be 3Delight: www.3delight.com On the GPU render engine side, after careful consideration, I think Octane, despite being a tad slower, blows Redshift out of the water when it comes to realism while being a hell of a lot cheaper: home.otoy.com
Thanks for the tutorial. Found it very helpful Just my 2 cents on where to plug the AO map into - I'm still yet to dive deep into RS, but from my experience with other shaders, all three methods are exactly the same. They are all multipliers. overall_color = multiplies overall diffuse_weight = multiplies the diffuse (which has an overall effect) multiplying with the base texture = same as above, but with an extra node So yeah. Doesn't matter. They'll all give exactly the same result :)
Great tutorial man, really helpful i have applied this method to apply textures in my scene. But want to know how to render different maps from redshift, like AO, light pass, diffuse etc.
Sure, although I want to hold off until the upcoming update which will add 3 channels in total as opposed to the current 2 for volumes. At the moment, one can only do Density and Heat, the third channel will add Fuel which should make explosions that much more realistic.
Nice tutorial, thank you. One question: given your textures are jpegs, wouldnt linearizing these textures as you mention require enable gamma override and setting the gamma to 0.454?
Thanks man, good tutorial, although am not really convinced of using both bump and normal maps, in my opinion, the second one is clearly the best choice. I also had some trouble using the specular/reflection map, do you know where I should plug it?
I agree that using Normal maps is best, however is some cases it is necessary to use both in order to see some high-frequency type of surface displacement that Normal alone doesn't always achieve. But yeah, in 99% of the cases you'd probably just want to use the Normal map. As far as the Spec and Reflexion maps, they're technically not necessary when working within a PBR engine like Redshift. You're better off letting Redshift calculate physically accurate specular highlights based on the Albedo/Roughness/Metalness/IOR information of the materials.
hi there! thanks for your amazing tutorial! sorry for the stupid question. how do you get your parameter editor to sit so neatly on the side of your node editor. i noticed it only sits so neatly when node editor is full screened, as soon as i bring in the scene view it dissapears. thanks!:)
As soon as Redshift for Metal comes out I'll start doing more Redshift tutorials again! But it's pretty simple, just insert a TriPlanar node between your Texture Node and the Material Node and you should be good to go. You can adjust the blending of the planes, but I found that the default settings give good results right off the bat!
How will can i view textures in my viewport. I have principle shader with displacement map applied to a geometry, but its not showing in my viewport, any help will be appreciated.
I'm trying to follow along but I can't seem to find the "gamma override" or the "compute vertex tangents from the object UV map" checkboxes in my current version of Houdini. Any help?
I stopped using Redshift for several reasons, but it's possible that they got rid of the Gamma override function in more recent versions and are now doing it automatically. If that's the case, then you don't need to worry about it.
Make sure you installed Redshift properly, the Redshift panel should automatically be added to your OBJ nodes, but if they're not there, you can also add them by clicking on the OBJParms button in the Redshift Shelf.

Wait a second, how goooooood was this tutorial? Damn, thank you very much!
Many thanks for this! More Houdini/RS tutorials would be most welcome!
You answered 13 questions I never find the answer for them, thank you so much.
Like many i have been looking all the web and now i found you. Thankyou so much . This as sorted out all the problems. Please give us moe like this

This is what one can call the perfect tutorial. Thank you very much for your time!
I guess it is kind of randomly asking but does anyone know a good place to stream newly released movies online ?
@Lucca Miguel i watch on flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Dominick Maddux yea, I've been using Flixzone for years myself :)
@Dominick Maddux Thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it!
@Lucca Miguel Glad I could help :D

An AOV tutorial? Sure, I can do that!

Great tutorial and helped me a lot, thanks! Do you know how to add emissive map to redshift_vopnet?
Great tutorial !
thank you very much bruhh
This tutorial is great!! Easy to beginner~~
Nice tutorial, thank you. One question: given your textures are jpegs, wouldnt linearizing these textures as you mention require enable gamma override and setting the gamma to 0.454?
You don't think that's what the Linearize checkbox does that internally?
@@midphase Where is the Linearize checkbox?
Awesome tut man, thank you.
Nice tutorial! I was wondering. When you are working with substance and houdini should I use a Metalness-Roughness or a Specular-glosiness workflow?
Metal-roughness for sure. I think the Arnold render preset actually works better with Redshift than the Redshift one!

Try shortcut "P" and it should stick to the right side of the screen.

excellent tute. thanks
this is incredibly helpful and i still have 10 minutes left.
Wth house buddy, what are you doing here? :-D Just found this today and your comment is on top.
thank you so much~
Ok where is the Redshift OBJ menu where he has it compute normals? Houdini 17.5- I'm not getting any redshift OBJ menu like that at the object level
Make sure you installed Redshift properly, the Redshift panel should automatically be added to your OBJ nodes, but if they're not there, you can also add them by clicking on the OBJParms button in the Redshift Shelf.
why not connecting bump map to Material/overall/bump Map?
You can do it that way too!
Why there is a huge difference between 3:57 and 35:43
I'm using a different HDRI to light the scene than the one that Quixel used. They're using a sphere while I'm mapping on a flat plane.
Great Tutorial ! Thanks
