About KeyShot

KeyShot is the first real-time ray-tracing application built on a physically correct render engine, based on scientific research in accurate material representation and global illumination. It addresses the visualization needs of designers, engineers, marketing professionals, photographers and CG specialists — turning 3D digital data into photographic images and animations.

KeyShot Subscription brings all the advanced features you need to create incredible visuals. KeyShot includes:

  • Drag and Drop Materials and Lighting
  • Create Your Own Materials and Lighting
  • Add Product and Studio Variations
  • Animate Cameras, Models and Materials
  • Render on CPU or GPU in Minutes

Features

Focus on your design, not software

The power and choice to render on CPU or NVIDIA GPUs, with the capability to scale linearly for unmatched performance.

Workflow Automation

Workflow Automation lets you automate KeyShot workflows via the KeyShot Scripting Console (with a user interface) or Headless Scripting Mode (without one) — automating render output, speeding up product-variation generation, and more.

Load It

KeyShot includes native support for over 30 leading 3D file formats. Free plugins offer one-click loading, while LiveLinking keeps your design in sync across applications — whether it's a small gadget or a massive assembly, using KeyShot means less time loading and more time creating.

KeyShot connected to 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Rhino, Maya, SketchUp, ZBrush, NX and SOLIDWORKS

Endless Possibilities

KeyShot is used across industries — and beyond — to create the powerful visuals that communicate endless possibilities, from the minute detail in textures to bathing a scene in the perfect lighting.
