Real-time Ray Tracing
Progressive global illumination with adaptive material sampling, dynamic lighting and focused caustics.
HDRI Lighting
Light your scenes quickly. Drag and drop a KeyShot HDRI environment into the scene and adjust as needed.
Physical Lighting
Add area, point or IES light sources by applying a light material to any piece of model geometry.
Accurate Materials
Scientific accurate materials that represent properties like IOR, dispersion and subsurface scattering.
Exclusive Materials
KeyShot is the only rendering solution with materials for Axalta Paints, Mold-Tech Textures, and Sørensen Leathers.
Material Templates
Patented technology to set up templates to automatically assign materials to the imported models on import to KeyShot.
Color Libraries
Enhance your materials by using industry standard color libraries like Pantone and RAL exclusively in KeyShot.
Toon Shading
Create non-photorealistic renderings suited for technical documentation, patent drawings and more.
Interactive Scene Tree
All parts, lights, cameras and animations in one place, with live search, filtering and grouping capabilities.
Interactive Labeling
Position labels on objects using their own material definition or adopted from the properties of the underlying material.
Dynamic Texture Mapping
Map textures across bump, color, specular, and opacity channels for the ultimate real-world appearance.
Procedural Textures
2D and 3D procedural textures from cloth, mesh and scratches to wood, gradient, camouflage and occlusion.
Focused Caustics
Show how light is affected by your materials with real world caustics immediately visible with a flip of a switch.
Rounded Edges
Turn sharp edges on an imported model into beautiful, small rounded edges and fillets with simple slider.
Patterns
Create 100s or 1,000s of independent model instances without affecting file size, memory or speed.
Favorites
Make collections of your favorite materials, colors, environments and textures for use in other scenes.
Unlimited Resolution
Unlimited real-time and render output resolution with presets for common sizes and custom resolution creation.
Camera Control
Simulate real world camera behavior with different mode and controls applied in real-time to capture the perfect image.
Perspective Matching
Interactive perspective matching tool that allows you to align the object in the scene with the photographed objects.
Importers
KeyShot has the widest support for the direct import of over 20 native and neutral 3D file types.
Plugins
A direct connection between 3D modeling software and KeyShot with many including LiveLinking.
LiveLinking
Through select KeyShot plugins, keep your geometry changes updated in KeyShot without losing any work.
Network Rendering
Take on large rendering tasks across your computer network and render your projects in a fraction of the time.
KeyShot Cloud
Search and share KeyShot assets including materials, HDRIs and backplates, and download to KeyShot.
