#ATT | Procedural Shading in Redshift with Marc Potocnik

In this special #AskTheTrainer session on Thursday 24th August 2023 at 9am Pacific, Cinema 4D Master Trainer Marc Potocnik from studio renderbaron will show you how to master procedural shading in Redshift.
You’ll learn about all the different ingredients and how to layer them up to create realistic materials.
