The new Light Manager in KeyShot 10 allows you to control all scene lighting from one location. The dockable panel allows you to choose and adjust your environment lighting or control the visibility, color, power, and size of any physical light.

Light Gizmos

Grab hold of the light.

When you want to explore lighting or make a quick adjustment on the fly, the new Light Gizmos in KeyShot 10 make it possible. From the Real-time View or Geometry View, simply select a Spotlight, IES Light, or Point Light to adjust a variety of ways.

Move Tool

You like to move it, move the Move Tool.

You never thought such a simple change could be so helpful. The KeyShot Move Tool has been completely redesigned to improve accessibility and allow you to place and dock it in the Real-time View or beyond.

Solo Mode

When your parts need some alone time.

Select, activate Solo Mode. This new feature speeds current workflows allowing you to isolate and work on one or more parts without the need to lock parts or disrupt the hierarchy of any other hidden parts.

UNMMATCHED REALISM

Deliver Visuals That Captivate.

There’s photo-real and then there’s KeyShot. New updates to KeyShot exclusive material capabilities bring a level of realism that turns heads.

RealCloth™ 2.0

Another dimension of cloth, fiber, and yarn.

RealCloth introduced a level of realism not yet seen. RealCloth 2.0 takes it to the next level. The improvements include 3D Ply for yarn-like geometry and increased fiber-level detail for the most realistic representation of individual threading ever.

Improved Caustics

Make your light rays drop jaws faster.

Caustics in KeyShot have always been beautiful and extremely accurate. Now in KeyShot 10, they converge even faster for both CPU and GPU with less dependence on the size of your scene to deliver jaw-dropping results in less time.

Multiple Surface Scattering

Bounce with me.

Control multiple bounces of light on rough dielectric surfaces, before it is scattered back. Multiple scattering enables energy conservation of light interacting with rough dielectrics, which means it allows you to achieve a more realistic and physically plausible appearance of such materials.

Firefly Filter

Shoo, firefly, don’t bother this scene.

Image Styles in KeyShot 10 hold a special treat for those who push lighting in their scene. Denoise now includes a Firefly Filter slider to quickly remove and smooth away specks of unwanted light from your scene.

Improved Denoise

Smooth illumination.

From smooth operator to smooth illuminator, new updates to KeyShot Denoise introduce albedo and normal information for consistent results between the Real-time View and your render output along with improved results with Interior Mode.

Improved Toon Material

Toon tuned.

Just look at those rich, thick contour lines. The popular KeyShot Toon material now provides finer control of outline behavior to be more consistent with line art illustration techniques.

What is KeyShot?

KeyShot is a standalone real-time rendering application. It makes the creation of 3D renderings and animations fast and easy. In short, it includes support for the widest number of 3D file formats on both Mac and PC.

REAL-TIME SPEED

KeyShot is real-time rendering to the core. Not a mode. Not an afterthought. See everything as it happens. See every change instantly as you work – from material and lighting to cameras and animation.

KeyShot is the first rendering application that allows you to work in a full ray traced environment from the beginning. How? Through the combination of progressive global illumination, multi-core photon mapping, adaptive material sampling, and a dynamic lighting core. To summarize, KeyShot delivers an interactive experience that results in photographic images instantly.

Every change you make, including material, lighting, and geometry, is instantly updated. In fact, evaluate the result within a few seconds. No switching back and forth between render modes. No endless waiting to see what the final rendering is going to look like. Just sit back and let the final image resolve in front of your eyes.

EASY TO USE

KeyShot is extremely easy to learn and use to achieve photographic results in minutes through a simple, workflow-based interface with all the advanced capabilities for the most experienced 3D render professional.

With its interactive approach to rendering, KeyShot is extremely easy to learn and use. Anyone involved with 3D data can achieve photographic results withing minutes of opening the application.

Despite the seemingly simple interface, KeyShot provides the depth of functionality to satisfy the needs of the most advanced user. And due to a well designed and thought out user interface, even advanced tools are easy to learn and use.

CPU POWERED

KeyShot works on both Windows and Mac utilizing 100% of any available CPU power. All CPU power scales linearly for unmatched performance.

KeyShot is powered completely by the CPU. In other words, there is no requirement for any type of special graphics card. It’s cross-platform support for both Windows and Mac. So, KeyShot will work on nearly any desktop or laptop right out of the box.

KeyShot is one of the few applications to take 100% advantage of all physical and virtual cores on your computer. To clarify, it will scale linearly in performance without ever tapering off when more cores are added.

ACCURATE MATERIALS

KeyShot materials go beyond physical appearance providing scientifically accurate properties for the highest quality visuals. Use a preset, an exclusive partner material, or create your own.

KeyShot materials are scientifically accurate. Rather than having materials that are “physically based” like many other rendering applications, KeyShot materials reflect a physically accurate and easy to understand representation of materials and their properties.

Each material can be tweaked, colored, and textured. Significantly, see every change in real-time, giving you the perfect materials for your scene. Match measured materials using Cie-Lab colors and Gloss values. Otherwise, use digital representations from material providers, including Axalta Coating Systems, Mold-Tech, and Sørensen leather.

For material color, define your own using various color spaces. Alternately, use industry-standard color libraries such as PANTONE and RAL. Materials can be shared through KeyShot Cloud, allowing you to tap into one of the largest online resources for rendering assets.

ADVANCED LIGHTING

KeyShot provides the speed to visualize products fast with advanced lighting capabilities. To put it differently, create the most accurate lighting for simple studio shots or the most complex interior lighting.

KeyShot’s real-time render engine contains the most advanced lighting algorithms, completely changing what is possible for visualizing interior spaces. In the same way that KeyShot changed the speed at which products can be rendered, this lighting algorithm provides the fastest, most accurate method for rendering complex interior lighting.

Scenes containing hundreds of lights and illumination through small windows can be rendered interactively without compromising quality or accuracy, and it all happens accurately in KeyShot without users having to adjust complex parameters such as the number of photons needed to render a given scene.

EFFICIENT WORKFLOW

KeyShot integrates throughout the entire product development process, with the widest 3D file format support and LiveLinking technology for a fluid workflow from concept to the final product.

KeyShot is the only rendering application that is truly integrated throughout the entire development process. Through its unmatched import pipeline, KeyShot imports nearly any file format.

Due to the extensive partnership network, users of many CAD and 3D modeling application can transfer data directly from their application into KeyShot. At the same time, maintaining a link to their modeling session. In fact, using KeyShot’s unique LiveLinking technology, any changes made to the model can be transferred to the running KeyShot session. Then, just update the scene without any loss of work.

Whether you are using the software during early concept presentations and design reviews or for final presentations, sales and marketing, or technical documentation, KeyShot allows you to start the work as soon as you have 3D data. By the time you have the final product, you’ll be finished creating the most amazing visuals possible.

LEAVE THEM SPEECHLESS.

From still image and animations to interactive web and mobile content, KeyShot’s ability to create the highest quality visuals possible ensures you are using the best tool for all your visualization needs.
