Introduction

KeyShot

KeyShot, meaning "The Key to Amazing Shots," is an interactive ray tracing and global light rendering program that produces photo realistic 3D rendered images without the need for complex settings. Moreover, KeyShot can be integrated with multiple software plugins to quickly and easily create magical rendering and animation effects。

KeyShot is a magical real-time 3D rendering and animation software that is a great companion to ZBrush. The KeyShot user interface is simple yet powerful, runs quickly, and all operations are performed in real-time. It uses unique rendering technology to make all changes in materials, lighting, and cameras obvious. From still images and animations to interactive web pages and mobile content, KeyShot always creates high-quality visual effects to meet all users' visualization needs。

Program Introduction

KeyShot, meaning "The Key to Amazing Shots," is an interactive ray tracing and global light rendering program that produces photo realistic 3D rendered images without the need for complex settings.

Luxion HyperShot/KeyShot are both developed based on LuxRender. At present, Luxion and Bunkspeed are going their separate ways due to technical issues (due to Bunkspeed's failure to pay Luxion's rendering core rental fees in a timely manner). Luxion no longer authorizes Bunkspeed's core technology, and Bunkspeed can no longer sell Hypershots. In the future, Luxion will sell them themselves and change the product name to Keyshot. All original Hypershot users can upgrade to Keyshot for free. Bunkspeed's rendering core adopts mental images Iray technology, which is a company under nVidia. Bunkspeed has written a new program based on the new core, and the name has also changed from Hypershot to Bunkspeed Shot.

LuxRender is a physics based unbiased rendering engine. Based on advanced technology level algorithms, LuxRender simulates light flow based on physical equations, resulting in realistic images and photo quality. LuxRende is a free software that can be used personally or commercially under GPL license. This program can run on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux, and has a fully functional output for Blender/Maya/3dsMax/Cinema4D/XSI. However, more and more 3D programs are being developed for output. At the same time, LuxRender is also an open source software.

Function

September 2012 KeyShot ® As a world leading developer of advanced rendering and lighting technology, and the first manufacturer to develop real-time ray tracking and global lighting programs, Luxion has announced the launch of KeyShot 3.3, which has upgraded many features, including UI enhancement and additional file support, as well as a new way to view 3D models.

This is the third upgrade of KeyShot 3.3, which not only continues to add features in the past, but also improves the software to accelerate 3D rendering and animation processes. With KeyShot 3.3, KeyShot users can better control color options and have the new ability to quickly and conveniently create interactive 3D content directly on the KeyShot interface.

KeyShotVR

KeyShot 3.3 adopts a brand new technology that has not yet been patented and can display the product on the webpage. KeyShotVRTM can display products in interactive 3D format, which can be viewed by any web browser with HTML5 installed, including mobile devices, without the need to install any special plugins. KeyShotVR is an optional extension software that introduces an additional rendering option, and its settings can create four different VR types, producing a portable touch 3D experience on any webpage.

Color Selector

KeyShot 3.3 introduces a brand new color selector that can be connected to any color option on the KeyShot Project panel. This brand new color selector allows users to choose colors from anywhere on their screen, and there are additional functions to save the selected colors to a new palette.

Support for Autodesk Inventor 2013

Luxion continues to provide users with a variety of import options, which can be imported into any 3D rendering software and supports Autodesk Inventor 2013 files. So Autodesk Inventor users can directly import their 3D data into KeyShot while preserving colors, names, and structure。

Additional improvements to KeyShot 3.3 include：

Further support for SolidWorks texture mapping coordinates。

Improvements have been made in various aspects of importing, including NX, Parasolid, Creo, and Inventor, and several bugs have been fixed。

KeyShot brings visual speed and agility to the entire product development process, providing a wide range of 3D file formats to support the smooth workflow from concept to product. KeyShot is a truly integrated rendering application throughout the entire development process. Through its import pipeline, KeyShot can import almost all file formats. Due to KeyShot's extensive collaborative network, many users of CAD and 3D modeling applications can transfer data directly from their application rooms to KeyShot while maintaining a link to their modeling sessions. By using KeyShot's LiveLinking technology, any changes made to the model can be transmitted to the running KeyShot session and the scene updated without losing work.

Whether you use KeyShot during early concept presentations and design reviews, or in presentations, sales and marketing or Technical documentation, KeyShot allows you to start working immediately after obtaining 3D data, and when you obtain the product, you will complete creating amazing visual effects.

KeyShot is a real-time rendering to the core, not a mode, not an afterthought. Every change from materials and lighting to cameras and animations is immediately visible to you as you work. KeyShot is a rendering application that allows you to work in a raytraced environment from the beginning. By combining progressive global illumination, multi-core Photon mapping, adaptive material sampling, and dynamic illumination cores, KeyShot provides an interactive experience that instantly generates photographic images. Every change you make - materials, lighting, geometry - will be immediately updated and allow you to evaluate the results within a few seconds. There is no need to switch back and forth between rendering modes, and there is no need to wait endlessly for the rendered appearance. Just sit down and let the image solve in front of you.
