Fast AI stills from Maya viewports and Redshift IPR before final render setup.

AI render previews for Redshift for Maya scenes and viewport captures
In Maya, choose the render camera or perspective view that best shows the model, shot, or layout, and capture a clean screenshot from the viewport, Render View, or Redshift IPR. Upload it to RENDERCAD to explore a polished still before tuning unified sampling, GI methods, trace depths, memory controls, AOVs, output paths, frame ranges, and batch rendering. For final animation frames, compositing passes, and color-managed production output, continue in Redshift for Maya.

| Feature | RENDERCAD | Redshift for Maya |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Biased GPU-accelerated production renderer with CPU and hybrid options |
| Output | Images + Video | Images, animation frame sequences, AOVs, EXR, PNG, JPEG, and TIFF |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Set by Maya render settings; hardware, GPU memory, and scene complexity dependent |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Scene, sampling, GI, effects, resolution, and render hardware dependent |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Rendered frame by frame for animation; batch rendering or farm workflow may be needed for long sequences |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | Maya scene with Redshift renderer, materials, lights, camera, Render View/IPR, sampling, GI, AOV, output path, and frame range settings |
| Input | Screen Snip | Autodesk Maya scene rendered through the Redshift plugin |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Maya plugin on supported Windows, macOS, and Linux desktop systems |
| Install | None | Installed and licensed through Maxon tools; the Redshift Maya plugin must match the Maya environment |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Maxon Redshift license or subscription required; terms vary by region and account type |

Get StartedCommon solutions for Redshift for Maya 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.
