As a professional ray tracing and global light rendering software, KeyShot has been committed to providing more users with powerful and incredible new features. The much-anticipated 2023 version of Keyshot has also been officially released, and today we will share with you the top 10 new features.

New feature 1: A brand new rounded UI interface style, similar to the Windows 11 system style, with a more refined interface. The web viewer has added icon buttons to the bottom toolbar.

New feature 2: Two new material library types have been added: Twinbru fabric and human skin color material.

New feature 3: Three additional activation preset scene templates have been added, namely large scene, medium scene, and small scene.

New feature 4: Material texture mapping has added built-in color space calculation, making ACESCG color display more accurate.

New feature 5: Rendered output supports multi-layer EXR format, with smaller file size than PSD, and more software support for multi-channel post processing.

New feature 6: Enhanced support for animation, KS2023 physics simulation is more accurate and realistic, and simulation collision speed is faster.

New feature 7: Material node curve fade in and out, and curve nodes support more control parameter animations for material textures or materials.

New Function 8: Add a ray mask node to the material node, excluding functions such as visible reflection, visible shadow, visible camera, and double-sided material.

After turning off the Shadow Visible and Reflection Visible options, the material's reflections and shadows on the ground are eliminated and disappear.

New feature 9: Multiple items can be selected from the right list for right click editing. In previous versions, only one right click operation could be selected.

New feature 10: Coloro color standard has been added to the color library, providing more attractive color schemes to choose from。

In addition to explaining the new features, the official material library of KS2023 includes fabrics, car paint, semi transparent, gemstones, glass, leather, etc., with 26 material categories and over 900 materials!
