Maxon’s Revit plugin now live, Archicad plugin in beta

Maxon’s rendering technology is well-established in the movie and gaming industries and has been used on Oscar-nominated movies like Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Godzilla Minus One. Its Redshift for Archviz plugin for Revit, launched in beta in March, is now commercially available to all customers.

The Vectorworks plugin was made commercially available in March. The Archicad plugin is now open for beta sign-ups.

Redshift for Archviz is designed to keep users working directly inside their CAD tool of choice with minimal disruption and no additional file management, according to Maxon.

Visualisation data is stored directly in the host software, reducing dependency on disconnected scene-management processes and repetitive export/re-import during review cycles. This embedded approach helps users maintain visualisation continuity throughout the BIM lifecycle.

Live BIM synchronisation enables rapid design iteration and immediate visual feedback during design development, helping teams respond quickly to model revisions, explore presentation variations and create review-ready visuals, according to Maxon.

“The world architects create is inherently three-dimensional, yet much of the industry still relies on workflows built around two-dimensional representations,” said David McGavran, CEO of Maxon. “With Redshift for Archviz, our goal is to make 3D design the new standard across architecture, engineering and construction. Through enabling digital projects to be experienced as if they already exist in the real world, we’re giving architects and interior designers a more powerful way to communicate ideas, make decisions, and bring their visions to life.”
