MS Marcelo S. Senior Product Designer, Egencia Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/18/2021 "Easiest way to get professional-looking results on your renders!" 4.5/5 What do you like best about KeyShot? Keyshot takes care of lightning in an easy way, and lets you preview the result of your rendering before pressing the button. Being able to do short animations on the software is also great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about KeyShot? Not much. I can imagine people saying that Keyshot misses features for 3d creation, but it's exactly the simplicity of the interface and the focus on rendering that makes me like the product. The only problem I've encountered is that it's difficult sometimes to get rid of the noise artifacts in the final rendering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you? I'm a visual designer originally, so 3d is not a core part of my workflow. Whenever I tried using 3d software, such as 3dsmax or CInema4d, my main problem was to get professional-looking final results. Rendering, and everything that comes in between (lightning, texturing) is surprisingly one of the hardest parts to get right on 3d work. KeyShot helps me to get good looking renders even if I'm not a 3d professional-artist. My renders, and even short animations, are looking wonderful now with the software!

I liked the easy to use interface, I like the drag and drop functionality of materials without the technical knowledge of setting up shaders. You can also customize your materials with the material editor. Just set up your environment for your product if it will be used for i.e. interior, product shots and you're good to go. Adding labels is a breeze as well. No need to know how to UV map your model just to add labels on your meshes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about KeyShot? The render engine used to only rely on CPU cores. But with the recent versions, you can use your GPU to render as well. So there is nothing I dislike about it now.

What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you? It basically solves my beauty render issues since I mostly work with real-time engines.

The speed, and the user interface. Also the ease in apply materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about KeyShot? Maybe, it is not an issue...

Show More Response from Josh Mings of KeyShot [Editedit](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/keyshot-review-373065/official_response/edit) Hi, thanks for your review! Components (model geometry) don't necessarily add to render times, but the more complex lighting you have and render output settings that are set unreasonably high will add to render times. This may also affect the real-time preview. One thing you can do while applying materials quickly is to toggle Performance Mode (Alt-P) which will speed up the Real-time View. 3/6/2020 Current UserValidated ReviewerIncentivizedSource: G2 invite ## Questions about KeyShot?
