"Decent Materials, no customer support, KeyShot’s Lighting is terrible."
2.5/5
What do you like best about KeyShot?

Keyshot has good materials and easy to use if you don’t do anything with lighting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyShot?

Emissive and lighting materials are trash. Customer support is non existent, and IF they decide to get back to you, they will provide a complicated hack to use their software the intended way instead of actually addressing the issue. Embarrassing for rendering software that costs over 1k a year and claims realism. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best rendering software: Keyshot"
4.5/5
What do you like best about KeyShot?

The pros are:

1) Easy to use (beginner to professional)

2) Superb compatibility with other CAD software

3) Superb texture modifications and add-ons

4) Lots of options while preparing for rendering

And many more.

My personal opinion: specifically, I use a low-level laptop and it works perfectly (though a little time is required to render due to hardware specs). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyShot?

Not applicable for now, but I think there should be a student license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Superb experience in product design"
5/5
What do you like best about KeyShot?

I have used multiple rendering software including blender and 3ds max but the flexibility, internal materials and ease of use of keyshot is unmatched to other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyShot?

Keyshot GPU feature has been lagging a lot. It could be made faster. Real time integration could be developed between keyshot and other modeling software. Cloud rendering should be made cheaper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My All-in-one Rendering Tool With Easy Integration"
5/5
What do you like best about KeyShot?

It integrates seamlessly with Creo Parametric, my primary CAD software, which makes the creation process even more efficient. I'm impressed with how KeyShot can take a 3D model from Creo Parametric and transform it into a realistic still image or animation in just a few steps.

The interface is incredibly user-friendly with support for drag-and-drop operations to help you quickly create stunning visuals. Additionally, the library of materials and lighting options allows me to customize my renders even further. With its powerful features and ease of use, KeyShot is definitely worth investing in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyShot?

While it has impressive features and tools, some of my team members find them too complex or difficult to use if they are not familiar with similar software programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Render engine for product>"
5/5

I like overall I didn't find anything in it to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great platform for rendering 3D Drawing"
4.5/5
What do you like best about KeyShot?

I was able to start making my products look professional and good to go in minutes without a lot of prior knowledge of 3D rendering. I think it's a great product for people who have a grasp of 3D modeling and want to make their products look good in a short amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyShot?

The interface is really nice, but it does take some time to learn how to use it properly so if you are just starting out with this software. It takes long time for rendering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing visuals, truly an alternative to product photography"
5/5
What do you like best about KeyShot?

Keyshot does an excellent job making 3d models look real by mimicking the effects of real light. The animation features are powerful and easy to use. Compared to built in rendering tools, nothing else comes close. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyShot?

Needs a very fast computer like a Threadripper to get the full potential out of keyshot. Otherwise the software is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
