Redshift is a fast render engine once it loads a TFD file. A 300MV voxel frame takes a minute to load and 5 seconds to render !! Sometimes you can make adjustments and feedback is immediate other times it want to reload the TFD file and then C4D will freeze for a minute while it loads up the file again…VERY frustrating. I also find shading VERY tricky. For a still it is fine, for a cloud not bad at all but for an explosion you are continually having to adjust the shading depending on what stage the explosion is. Of you get the late stages fine the early stages are blown pout and washed out. AR does this well enough with a blackbody emission, you set and forget it and Arnold of course can do the same. The load times and the continual messing around with settings means I can render an animation in full in Arnold by the time I have my 10th frame, at best, rendered out of Redshift
