Stands out in the toolfarm library for bundling 18 Xpresso-rigged studio lighting scenes as a Content Browser-ready .lib4d, backed by a year of monthly free updates.
Pixel Lab Redshift Lighting Essentials Volume 2 is a collection of 18 fully customizable studio lighting scenes built for Cinema 4D and Redshift. Every studio comes with a full Xpresso rig, letting you modify the lights and colors within each setup.
The pack downloads as a .lib4d file, so the setups are available through the Content Browser. Pixel Lab commits to frequent free updates for at least one year, adding roughly one new studio light setup every month for customers.
The 18 included scenes span a range of looks: a home interior wooden desktop, a dust-and-bokeh scene, modern shadows, jet-black backlighting, a space nebula with starfields, an HDRI reflections studio, semi-brutalist architecture, a photoreal mini-studio for small objects, retro neon glow, beauty packshots, a mograph studio, a black-and-white landscape, a sci-fi hard-surface logo reveal, a creepy flicker studio, a science studio, an everyday preset-color studio, an edge-highlighting light sculpting studio, and a painterly Caravaggio still life.
Pixel Lab Redshift Lighting Essentials Volume 2 is best for cinema 4D artists lighting scenes in Redshift who want ready-made, customizable studio setups.
Pixel Lab Redshift Lighting Essentials Volume 2 is completely free to download and use.
Pixel Lab Redshift Lighting Essentials Volume 2 is built for Cinema 4D with Redshift 2.5 and above. The scenes rely on Redshift for rendering, so you'll need a compatible Redshift installation running inside Cinema 4D. Beyond Redshift 2.5 as the minimum, no further version specifics are listed, so check the developer's page if you need to confirm your exact Cinema 4D or Redshift build before downloading.
Pixel Lab Redshift Lighting Essentials Volume 2 downloads as a .lib4d file, which makes the lighting setups available through the Cinema 4D Content Browser. From there you can bring any of the 18 studios into your project. Each studio also includes a full Xpresso rig, so once a scene is loaded you can adjust its lights and colors directly rather than rebuilding the setup by hand.
Pixel Lab Redshift Lighting Essentials Volume 2 comes with a commitment to frequent free updates for at least one year. The developer plans to add roughly one new studio light setup every month, delivered to customers. The pack currently includes 18 scenes, so that count is expected to grow over the update period. Check the developer's page for the latest set of studios.
Pixel Lab Redshift Lighting Essentials Volume 2 is listed as free here. Licensing and access terms can change over time, so for current details and to confirm how the free updates program works, check Pixel Lab's own page. That page is also the best place to see the latest list of included studios, since the pack is set to grow beyond its current 18 scenes over the update period.
