KeyShot real-time 3D rendering software (64-bit)

KeyShot, which means "The Key to Amazing Shots", is an interactive ray tracing and global light rendering program that can produce photo-realistic 3D rendering images without complicated settings. As the world's leading developer of advanced rendering and lighting technology, and the first to develop real-time ray tracing and global illumination programs, Luxion has always focused on the practicality of KeyShot functionality, focusing on helping users create magical renderings quickly and easily. and animation effects.

Currently, the latest version of KeyShot 6 brings greater speed and simplicity to help create high-quality visual effects. With the new KeyShot Material Graph, it uses faster lighting functions and expanded material performance to bring you a fully optimized experience. Workflow, advanced tools help with scripting and geometry editing, allowing you to create amazing photos faster in KeyShot.

KeyShot features:

​ ​ 1. Real-time speed, check the effect instantly.

KeyShot can achieve completely real-time rendering. It is not a mode or an afterthought. It is visible as it happens. Every change from materials and lighting to camera and animation can be seen immediately.

​​ 2. Easy to use, focusing on design, not software.

​​ ​ KeyShot is easy to learn and use, providing experienced users with all the advanced features through a simple, workflow-based interface, able to achieve highly realistic results in minutes.

​​ 3. CPU-driven, create visual effects faster.

​​​​ KeyShot is available on Windows and Mac systems and runs at nearly 100% CPU without the need for a special graphics card, all CPUs scaling linearly for unparalleled performance.

4. Accurate materials make the work more realistic.

KeyShot materials go beyond material appearance to deliver scientifically accurate performance for high-quality visual effects, using presets, exclusive partner materials, or creating your own.

5. Advanced lighting.

KeyShot delivers unparalleled speed with advanced lighting features to create the most accurate lighting for simple studio shots or the most complex interior lighting to quickly visualize your product.

​​ 6. Efficient work flow, present ideas earlier.

KeyShot integrates the entire product development process, supports multiple 3D file formats, and with the help of LiveLinking technology, realizes a flowing workflow from concept to final product.

KeyShot Beginner’s Tutorial

​ 1.Rendering settings

​ ​ 1) Resolution: Setting of scene size. After setting the width and height, check "Lock Aspect", then no matter how the Keyshot window is scaled, the size of the rendering window will not change. Before the rendering is set, you can check it to ensure speed. You can also check "Lock Resolution" to ensure the aspect ratio of the rendering window.

​ ​ 2) Adjustment: The brightness and gamma value are generally not adjusted.

​ ​ 3) Quality: Light Reflection: Adjusts the number of light reflections with caustics.

​ ​ 4) Shadow quality: Adjust the shadow quality in combination with the ground size. The higher the value, the better the shadow effect. Refine shadows: Usually checked, the shadow effect is better.

5) Refine indirect lighting: If not checked, indirect lighting between objects will not appear, usually checked. Indirect ground lighting: Normally checked.

​​ 6) Focused caustics: Check when there are caustics.

​ ​ 7) Special effects: If you set a self-illuminating object, a halo effect will appear after checking it, which is more realistic.

​​ 2. Rendering. Ctrl+P Screenshot: P Output:

1) Storage image formats: JPEG (the most common, with compression, without channels), tiff (good quality, recommended, with channels, without compression), png (small size, with channels), tiff 32bit (high dynamic range) , record more information), exr (high dynamic range, but difficult for beginners to edit, composite link) Resolution: Set the size of the rendered image.

​ ​ 2) Rendering mode: The default is picture.

​ ​ 3) Add to Queue: Set up a camera, click Render, and check "Add to Queue" to add a task to the queue. You can also set up the camera, click "Add Task" directly in the "Queue" tab to shoot the sequence, and click "Process Sequence" to render in order, avoiding waiting or repeating settings again and again.

​ ​ 4) Quality: Maximum time: Render according to the time range. Similar to arranging a task that must be completed in two hours, the quality of completion is related to time.
