Turn 3ds Max Redshift scene views into polished AI stills before final sample, GI, and AOV setup.
AI render previews for Redshift for 3ds Max scenes and viewport captures
AI render previews for Redshift for 3ds Max scenes and viewport captures
Open the 3ds Max scene, choose the camera or perspective view that best communicates the model, set Redshift as the active renderer only if you need its viewport or Render View context, and capture a clean image of the composition. Upload that screenshot to RENDERCAD to create a photorealistic AI still for approval or exploration before tuning unified sampling, GI, trace depths, GPU memory settings, render elements, and output resolution. For final animation frames, AOVs, and physically controlled material passes, continue in Redshift.
Modeled by CADSharp in Onshape. Rendered with RENDERCAD.

| Feature | RENDERCAD | Redshift for 3ds Max |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Biased GPU-accelerated production renderer |
| Output | Images + Video | Still images, animation frames, AOVs, render elements, and production passes |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | 3ds Max Render Setup output resolution; limited by scene complexity and render hardware |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Scene, sampling, GI, effects, resolution, and GPU memory dependent |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Rendered frame by frame for animation; speed depends on samples, scene complexity, and available render hardware |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | 3ds Max scene with Redshift as active renderer, Redshift materials, lights, cameras, sampling, GI, render elements, and output settings |
| Input | Screen Snip | Autodesk 3ds Max scene through the Redshift plugin |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | 3ds Max plugin on supported Windows desktop systems |
| Install | None | Installed through the Maxon app and loaded in 3ds Max |

Get StartedCommon solutions for Redshift for 3ds Max users
Instead of complex UV mapping, upload your image or use the RENDERCAD overlay tool to snip your screen. Type "Carbon Fiber" in the prompt, select "Exact" style, and in about 10-60 seconds, the AI will retexture your image realistically.
Snap a picture using the RENDERCAD overlay. Select the "Realistic" engine, set Condition to "Clean," and prompt "Brushed Aluminum." The AI applies the texture orientation correctly to your geometry.
Don't struggle with refraction settings. Upload your image or snip your view with RENDERCAD, set Style to "Creative," and prompt "Clear Glass." The engine handles transparency and light bending automatically.
Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing to RENDERCAD Studio. Add "Cold beverage with condensation" to your custom prompt. The "Realistic" engine will generate realistic droplets on the surface.
Use the RENDERCAD overlay. Prompt for "Injection Molded Plastic" and in Advanced Settings, set Condition to "Clean" for a smooth, factory-fresh look.
You don't need texture maps. Upload your image or snip your screen with RENDERCAD, then set Advanced Settings > Condition to "Dirty" or "Heavily Used" to instantly apply rust and age.
Capture your model and prompt "Oak Wood" in RENDERCAD. The Image-to-Image engine generates a unique, non-repeating grain pattern that fits your object's form.
Upload your image or snip your screen. In RENDERCAD, prompt "Polished Gold" and set Background to "Grey" or "Gradient." The AI generates the necessary reflections to simulate a metallic surface.
No need for bump maps. Use the RENDERCAD overlay to capture the view, then prompt "Black Leather." The AI interprets the depth and stitching automatically.
Capture your screen and use the custom prompt "Glowing Neon Blue Lights." The AI paints the bloom and light spill directly onto your image.
While RENDERCAD generates full rectangular images, you can set the Background to "White" or "Grey" in Advanced Settings for easy masking in post-production.
Upload your image or snip the model, then prompt for "Denim," "Cotton," or "Velvet." RENDERCAD applies the weave texture naturally over the surface.
