This is a significant update that includes new features, tools, presets, and new host-application support. Speaking of which:
DaCinci Resolve Support In addition to host-applications like Premiere Pro, After Effects, FCPX and more, four of the tools in Magic Bullet Suite now support DaVinci Resolve:
Magic Bullet Looks
Magic Bullet Film
Magic Bullet Cosmo
Magic Bullet Mojo
What's new in Magic Bullet Looks 3.1
Trackpad Mode – a more fluid and intuitive way of using Looks with a control surface you already own (Watch Video)
Updated LUT tool with new LUTs and Looks (Watch Video)
DaVinci Resolve Support
What's new in Magic Bullet Colorista III 1.1
OpenCL and Cuda support – Mercury Playback in Premiere Pro, which means realtime color correction, while you play back your video.
Skin Overlay – We’ve brought back a tool that makes it easy to check your skin tones.
Keyer “Cut Out” mode – which uses the Colorista Keyer to create layer transparency, for more powerful, layered color corrections. (Watch Video)
Magic Bullet Film, Mojo
DaVinci Resolve Support has been added for these 3 tools (as well as Magic Bullet Look).
You can get the updates HERE (from the latest Suites and Universe product installers) or use Red Giant Link to update.
Veras 5.3 introduces NODES, a visual workflow builder now in Beta that lets users generate parametric geometry and bake it directly into Revit, Rhino, or SketchUp. The system shifts Veras from rendering-first to a full generative design platform with interactive design tools.
SketchUp 2025–2026 has added native PBR materials, AI image generation, and real-time rendering plugins like Lumion View, letting archviz artists produce photorealistic images without leaving the viewport. This collapses the traditional design-to-render pipeline.
Maxon's Redshift 2027.0 cuts render times by up to 15% through memory optimization and adds official Archicad integration alongside improved materials and live feedback tools.
Blender 5.3 arrives November 10 with DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction, an AI-powered denoiser for Cycles that works on RTX 20–50 series cards. The upgrade promises faster interactive lighting workflows at near-final quality.
Chaos released V-Ray for Blender 7.4 with Windows ARM64 compatibility, Phoenix Ocean textures for exterior scenes, Quick Sun Caustics for realistic lighting, and tools to organize large asset libraries and migrate from Blender's native renderer.
Maxon's October 2026 release adds procedural vegetation scattering, reworked GPU memory management in Redshift, and liquid simulation—streamlining environment work and viewport iteration for archviz studios.
A free community plugin now lets 3ds Max users with older GPUs access neural rendering via DLSS 5, potentially speeding up renders without hardware upgrades.
SketchUp 2025–2026 has added native PBR materials, AI image generation, and real-time rendering plugins like Lumion View, letting archviz artists produce photorealistic images without leaving the viewport. This collapses the traditional design-to-render pipeline.
In this walkthrough, we guide you through the process of building a polished 3D interior scene inspired by the cover of Archmodels vol. 306 – Table Sets.
