What Is KeyShot?

KeyShot is a stand-alone, real-time ray tracing and global illumination program used to create 3D renderings, animations and interactive visuals.

With its CPU-based architecture, photorealistic real-time rendering can be achieved on both Mac and PC, even on laptops, without the need for high-end graphics cards.

KeyShot supports more 3D file formats than any other rendering software, importing over 25 different file types.

It has a simple user interface with drag-n-drop material and environment presets, interactive labeling, texture mapping, physical lighting, animation and much more.

KeyShot is…

Fast
Everything inside KeyShot happens in real-time. KeyShot uses unique rendering technology which makes it possible to see all changes to materials, lighting, and cameras instantly.

Easy
You don’t have to be a rendering expert to create photorealistic images of your 3D models. Simply import your data, assign materials by dragging and dropping them onto the model, adjust the lighting, and move the camera. Done.

Accurate
KeyShot is the most accurate rendering solution for your 3D data. KeyShot is built on Luxion’s internally developed, physically correct render engine based on research in the

areas of scientifically accurate material representation and global illumination.
