Drop Dead

Instant Redshift materials for C4D

About

Most Redshift material work is plumbing, not look dev: dragging files, matching slots, tracing wires in the node editor. Drop Dead is a small desktop companion that hands that step off so you stay with your scene in Cinema 4D.

Built by artists who hate wasting time. It's free, forever.
