We have exciting news to share with all Archicad users: Maxon has launched its beta program for Archicad, and we want you to be part of it!
Redshift for Archviz now expands its workflow to support Archicad, helping architects and visualization artists move from design to stunning final imagery with greater ease and efficiency. Whether you're creating early concept presentations or photoreal marketing visuals, this integration brings high-performance rendering directly into your existing pipeline.

Here's what's included in the beta:
- Design in Real-Time — Walk through your design as it evolves with physically accurate light, shadows, and materials responding live. Perfect for fast decisions and client presentations.
- Adjust Time of Day & Cloud Coverage — Redshift reads your Archicad project's geolocation and time-of-day data. Shift from morning light to golden hour with full art-direction control over clouds.
- Choose from Realistic Materials — Access a rich library of physically accurate materials — concrete, metal, glass, wood, textiles — and preview adjustments live until it feels just right.
- Ever-Expanding Asset Library — Quickly furnish interiors and exteriors with drag-and-drop furniture, vehicles, people, and realistic plants to bring renderings to cinematic detail.
- Go Further in Maxon Cinema 4D — Export directly to Cinema 4D with materials, lighting, and assets intact for animations, simulations, and studio-quality walkthroughs.
