The only negative I’ve found is that it doesn’t really get full value out of multiple GPUs.

I think it has the capacity to produce incredible renders and worth looking at again with v2.0, it’s so much faster and with AI denoising it is usable in production. ProRender 2.0 is a very different beast to the horrid implementation Maxon shipped with C4D. This awesome U-RENDER 2021.1.3 for Cinema 4D Video made by RENDER and the latest. I doubt if Cycles is now slower than Redshift on Ampere so once Insydium bring across all the latest developments Cycles4D may be a cheaper and better solution to Redshift. Free Download U-RENDER 2021.1.3 for Cinema 4D with high-speed direct link. Features include volumetric light field primitives and deep motion buffers for high frame rate VR rendering. speed has been whittled away by recent hardware developments and looks like Redshift has a real issue making the most from the Ampere architecture, other renderers like Cycles and Octane get a much greater performance boost. The release of the new OctaneRender 3, brings new state-of-the-art tools never seen before in any production renderer. For commercial usage Renderman is no more expensive than Redshift and there are copious renderfarms which support it. It’s going to be available for most DCC and will support XPU (CPU+GPU) for CUDA GPUs.

Renderman 24 is due very soon, has a great production pedigree and is FREE for non commercial use including showreels, there’s also no feature or hardware limitations.
