Aura earns its place in the toolfarm library as a set of pre-built, Xpresso-rigged Redshift environments for Cinema 4D, with the scene lineup and rig controls doing the heavy lifting.
Pixel Lab Aura is a collection of 13 professional 3D environments for Cinema 4D, prepared for use with Redshift. The set is aimed at Redshift animations and product shots, and from the lighting to the texturing, each scene is dialed in, high resolution and professional quality.
Every studio comes with an Xpresso rig, so you can use sliders to modify lights, temperature, color, glows and other properties. The 13 scenes span a Loft, Containers, a Museum, a Modern set, a Wave, a Race, a SciFi Tunnel, an Underground Parking, an Armored Room, The Garage, an Underground Station, a Customizable Interior and a Scifi Starship Interior.
Pixel Lab plans to launch a free environment each month for customers until the collection reaches 15. A separate Octane and Cinema 4D version is also available, and a demo video is available.
Pixel Lab Aura: Professional 3D Environments for Redshift is best for cinema 4D artists rendering Redshift animations and product shots who want ready-made professional environments.
Pixel Lab Aura: Professional 3D Environments for Redshift is completely free to download and use.
Pixel Lab Aura is compatible with Cinema 4D and Redshift, and this version is prepared specifically for the Redshift and Cinema 4D combination. The environments are aimed at Redshift animations and product shots. A separate Octane and Cinema 4D version of Aura is also available for artists working in that render engine, so choose the version that matches your setup.
Pixel Lab Aura includes an Xpresso rig in every studio, letting you use sliders to modify lights, temperature, color, glows and many other properties. This means the environments can be tuned directly rather than rebuilt from scratch.

Pixel Lab Aura ships with 13 environments: a Loft, Containers, a Museum, a Modern set, a Wave, a Race, a SciFi Tunnel, an Underground Parking, an Armored Room, The Garage, an Underground Station, a Customizable Interior and a Scifi Starship Interior. Pixel Lab also plans to launch a free environment each month for customers until the collection reaches 15. The environments are built for Redshift animations and product shots in Cinema 4D.
