Important Clarification: Cinema 4D 2024.2 and Redshift 3.5.24 were released in late 2023 through early 2024, not 2021. The “2021” in your keyword likely refers to the broader transition period when Maxon began fully integrating Redshift into the C4D core (Redshift 3.0.45 was the major 2021 release). However, for the purpose of this article, we will treat Cinema 4D 2024.2 + Redshift 3.5.24 as the ultimate, mature evolution of the 2021 integration promise.

Added support for Apple M3 processors, utilizing hardware-accelerated ray tracing to significantly boost rendering performance on the latest Mac hardware. Shader & Material Updates:

Legacy/Studio Labels: While you mentioned "Studio," Maxon transitioned to a unified "Cinema 4D" branding and subscription model several years ago, replacing the old tier system (Prime, Visualize, Studio). Downloads - Maxon

Global Damping Overrides: Users can now override global damping settings specifically for rigid bodies, soft bodies, cloth, and ropes. Pyro Gaseous Simulations:

USD & Exchange Formats: 2024.2 improved Solaris/USD integration. Redshift 3.5.24, however, was from the pre-Maxon-USD-native era. You will experience limited USD attribute transfer. Recommendation: Use Alembic or FBX between apps if you need to render with this legacy RS build.
