Render with Multiple GPUs

Available for both real-time rendering and local render output, the new GPU Mode allows GPU resources to be accessed with one click. Harness the GPU-accelerated ray-tracing power of NVIDIA RTX with OptiX.

Realistic Woven Materials

RealCloth Pro technology by Luxion is a new material type which lets you create and visualise realistic woven materials, including control over the weave and flyaway fibers.

Edges Anywhere

With the Contour texture, you now have control and flexibility while creating custom materials. Add an illustration-like effect, or use it on top of real world materials like metals and plastics.

Fuzz Material

The new material geometry shader, fuzz, brings a whole new level of realism to your products. Add any amount of fuzz on the surface of a meterial in the Material Graph, and you can control the length, density and randomness for the perfect look.

Interactive Web and Mobile Content

Introducing the power to generate interactive browser-based product configurators. Create fully-rendered product variations using the models, materials and studios of your choice.

Smoother Renders

Working with both CPU and GPU Mode to eliminate noise, the denoiser creates smooth, fast and beautiful renderings in the real-time view and final render output.

Specially Curated Library

A new library filled with high quality 3D models to complement your scene, that are complete with textures and materials. Easily searched, filtered and added to any scene as a simple drag and drop.

Generic (BRDF) Material

Only generic in name, this material's flexibility is near limitless. Adjust sheen, clearcoat, metallic, anisotropic and more.

VR Headset support

With support for VR headsets, including HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, experience real-time VR within KeyShot or output your stills and animations to view using your VR hardware.

Panoramic Lens

Model Sets

Create different variations of models and parts in a single scene show models in different states or using different materials.

Studios

KeyShot Studios let you create and save scene variations in one file for quick presentation, with a combination of cameras, environments, models or materials.

Walkthrough Mode 

More control in Walkthrough Mode with collision detection to prevent walking through objects with simple sensitivity control.

Multi-Material

Apply any combination of different materials to any part to facilitate non-destructive material swapping, variations and color studies.

Multi-layer PSD

Real-time Region Render

KeyShot Pro users can render any region of their scene in real-time. Only the region enclosed by the bounding box in the Real-time view will be rendered. Use this feature while dialing in materials to see the areas res up faster than if displaying the entire Real-time view.

Interior Lighting Mode

Metallic Paint

Create deep, rich candy coats with the new texturable clear-coat color with complete control over clear-coat thickness.

Toon Material

More control over contours and the ability to change shadow color and texture or change the visibility of shadows produced by light materials.

Material Templates

Material templates have been completely updated to make it faster and easier to setup and apply materials across all parts at import.

Texture Mapping

Apply textures faster with the interactive mapping tool. Apply textures using Tri-planar, Tile UV or apply video maps.

Procedurals

Color and Number Fade animations now make it possible to quickly adjust material colors or settings, change materials opacity or fade lights.

Unit-Aware Settings

Adjust your material and texture settings using actual values based on the units set for your scene.

Material Graph

The Material Graph opens in a separate window and displays materials, textures, labels and more as nodes in a graph view to visualise connections and relationships within complex materials.

Choose Your Environment

When you want to switch an environment, it should be easy. KeyShot features the ability to apply multiple environments to a scene, switch it as quick as you like and see the results instantly. Choose a studio, an outdoor scene or position sun and sky exactly where you want them.

Integrated HDRI Editor

The KeyShot HDRI Editor is integrated in the Environment tab for a fluid environment editing experience.

HDRI Gradients

Gradients are included in the HDRI Editor for both HDRI light pins and as an additional background option.

HDRI Export

Set up your lighting and save it out. KeyShot allows you to export your HDRI environments in HDR, EXR and HDZ formats.

Interactive Sun & Sky

Drag and drop positioning of the sun with additional settings to dial in your own Sun & Sky environment.

Occlusion Ground Shadows

Quickly and easily toggle occlusion ground shadows on or off.

Reflection Contrast

The ground material in KeyShot allows complete control over the ground material reflection contrast.

Re-Tessellate

Models that have been imported with NURBS included can be re-tessellated directly in the scene without having to re-import the model. This tool allows you to fine tune tessellation quality of entire models or individual parts in a scene to optimize appearance and file size.

Move Active Camera

The Active Camera in the Geometry View can be manipulated with a move tool. This features makes positioning cameras in interiors especially easy.

Geometry View

Geometry Editor

The Geometry Editor brings the freedom of splitting surfaces, calculating vertex normals, separating individual surfaces and closing open boundaries directly inside of the KeyShot through an integrated Geometry View.
