The KeyShot user interface makes the 3D rendering and animation process simple and fast. Use 700+ materials, 50+ lighting environments, labels, texture and opacity maps to create exactly the look you need. Use the intuitive animation system to apply transforms on models and cameras to see an animation take shape before your eyes in real time. Sequence and adjust your animation as it plays. There’s never been an easier way to create 3D renderings, animations and design variations on the fly. Realtime Raytracing KeyShot is the first real-time ray tracing and global illumination program that uses a physically correct rendering engine certified by the CIE (International Commission on Illumination). Whether you are creating 3D renderings or animations, you see everything happen instantly, in KeyShot’s realtime raytraced viewport, decreasing the time it takes to create photorealistic 3D images. Instant Real World Lighting Drag and drop lighting environments to see the change in shadow, highlight and reflection immediately. All of the environmental lights inside KeyShot can accurately simulate differences in brightness from a simple LED all the way up to the intensity of the sun and cast shadows accordingly. And to get you started, there is no initial lighting setup necessary for you to achieve immediate realistic lighting. Scientifically Accurate Materials All KeyShot materials are scientifically accurate and have physical properties based on real world materials. The material types contain only the properties necessary for creating that specific type. For example, you won’t find a property under the “Glass” material that will make it look like a metal. This makes setting up realistic materials extremely easy, foolproof and faster than ever. KeyShot Animation Animation KeyShot revolutionary new animation system brings a whole new level of creating animations quickly and easily to your product development pipeline. KeyShot doesn’t rely on inserting and managing keyframes. Instead, apply individual transforms (rotations, translations, etc.) to set up new animations with a click of button, and update materials and lighting as the animation plays.
