The Tools Menu includes a number of options to help you inside of the Shader Graph, described below: Create Texture Node The Edit Menu includes some basic workflow options, along with their shortcuts. The Menu Bar located at the top of our Shader Graph window include Edit, Tools, and Options.
To enable the search box click on the magnifying glass icon located at the top right. The Parameter Search allows us to search for specific Attributes, in our selected node. The Attribute Manager located on the far right, holds an attribute editor, for editing the parameters of nodes currently selected inside the Graph Area. The attribute editor has all the same functions as the C4D built in attribute editor, including setting key frames, takes overrides etc. This is where we can drag & drop nodes from our Node Tree to build our shader structures. The Graph Area, which is based off of Cinema 4D's Xpresso system, is located in the center of our Shader Graph window. Redshift only allows for a single rendering session at any given time, so the material preview will update after any active render has finished or is suspended.ĭouble clicking the preview will trigger a refresh, if no other render job is in progress. Redshift uses the material preview scenes that are provided with Cinema 4D. The Search Box allows you to search for specific nodes in the Node Tree for easier navigation. Nodes inherit the color from their respected Categories once brought into the Graph Area. There are 8 different Categories of nodes to choose to from that include Materials, Textures, Utilities, Environment, Lights, Volume, Math, and Color. The nodes are organized into Categories depending on the type of node or its functionality. The Node Tree located on the far left, contains all the Redshift Shader Nodes that can be added to our Graph Area. The Shader Graph Editor is broken up into a couple sections, the Node Tree which includes the Material Preview above, the Shader Graph Area, and the Attribute Manager which includes the Parameter Search box above. The Redshift ShaderGraph defines the structure and the processing flow of the shading process.
The Shader Graph allows you to create and personalize complex materials inside of Redshift, these materials are composed of Shader Nodes.
