Cannot Render through Redshift

[DaveRankin]

Hello all,
I really need help. I am trying to learn C4D but I am ready to give up. I bought a new computer specifically for this program, so I can work as a Motion Designer Artist.

I have an Asus Rog Strix with 13th gen Intel i7 GeForce RTX 4060 GDDR6 @ 8GB 128 bits.

I have gotten 4 pieces to render, but cannot get particles or pyro to render through redshift. I have tried caching objects, caching my scene, restarting my computer, restarting C4D all with no rendering from Redshift.

Caching breaks my animation in the viewport.
Redshift will render basic objects in my scenes and my animated cameras, but nothing else appears in the final render.

Please help. What am I doing wrong? I tried updating to the latest in C4D and Redshift today and it still did the same thing.

Hi mission sea,

I can not comment on any hardware tech; I don't have all these cards here. If I can't test a specific configuration firsthand, I can't share anything valuable.

But we can do this: Here is a project file; please run it from frame zero, stop when you have some particles, and then render. Does it look like this:

CV4_2025_drs_25_RSpt_01.c4d

There was a while ago a problem rendering in progressive mode worked, but not in bucket mode. If Hair was used for rendering.
The suggested solution was to move redshift up or down in the Render Settings List. Up and down, as I don't know which version you use or what your setup looks like.

Would you mind opening a ticket with tech support? If there was nothing in the test render. Thank you.

Thank you I will try later tonight when home from work. If you would like me to render the test file in the RS Renderview once the animation starts playing that will work until I cache it, then it will probably break. I will try both the RS Renderview window and then try to render it from the frame where the particles start in RS itself

Thank you DaveRankin,

I wanted first to test the particles alone.

Please, as the next step, explore this file
