A beautifully simple and intuitive rendering product that has hidden capabilites! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** William B. | Contract Industrial Designer, Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** I really enjoy the "drag and drop" method of applying materials, lighting, studio, etc that keyshot has. It's rather intuitive and simple. The clean menus and importing of parts and models really speaks volumes to the work that was done to create this program! **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** Not a whole lot to dislike other than the extreme burden this will put on your computer. Make sure you are using a capable machine before you start and save yourself some frustration. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** First, make sure your computer has the chops to handle the rendering. Second, the more you play, the more you will learn and discover the power of KeyShot! There are finite controls you can use, so make sure to look through tutorials and the user guide! **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use this to bring photo realistic renders to clients. It can help visualize a design in great detail after you've done your CAD work and concept sketching. ### 2. Keyshot review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** srinivas j. | Production Desktop 3D Artist, Media Production, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** The best rendering software I have worked with upto now, Simple to use and easy to understand. Lot of options given to use different materials and lighting setup all in realtime. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** Nothing in particular or all over to dislike, It works to my comfort zone and has always been helpful, no complaints, many more features could be added though **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** If you want amazing output renders without the hassle of creating your own light setups for any model or animation, characters to hardsurface, this rendering engine does it in realtime and is greeat **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easy and fast render setup provided with easily modifiable controls instead of using lot of time to create my setup in vray ### 3. Keyshot is a go to software quick visualization. **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Manish K. | 3D Generalist, Media Production, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 07, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** Very good software for checking the surface details and analyse. Quick shading library. Easy lighting and it is incorporated with 3rd party lighting software with one click. Good software for jewellery and liquids. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** First thing the software shutdown without any notification. And no render layers are available for composting. No room to create advanced shader. It is not good unless you have hdri. Unit setup is not reliable. No color profile is installed and needs color correction in composting software. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** Quick solution for visualisation and for surface analysis **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quick visualisation for any product and scene. Checking surface quality of cad file. ### 4. Keyshot is a great program for rendering **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 03, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** Keyshot has a lot of tools and flexibility that allows you to render your design to any context necessary. If you still can't find exactly what you are looking for after looking through their libraries and adjustment abilities, you can even create your own setups and environments from any image (match the lighting, perspective, reflections, etc). I also love the feature of being able to set up a queue for all your renders to make your rendering process more efficient. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** I wish some materials could be a little more realistic such as the woodgrains. It would be cool if you could take and image of a wood slab, and drop it in, and have that object fit the volume of the solid you are working with. I wish it were a little quicker with updating as you work in the program, and not lag as you move or rotate objects. Label placement and scale has been a little strange for me as well. Another thing would be having the preview more accurate to what the final rendering would be. I find a lot of times, I'll set up an environment, to find it reflecting way to bright or show a material in an undesired way as it's rendering. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** KeyShot has a lot to offer and take advantage of for rendering. If using SolidWorks, take advantage of the plugin to export directly into KeyShot **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keyshot is great for creating close to real-life images of designs to show to clients. This helps remove any bias that might come from not being able to visualize the final product well. ### 5. Automotive rendering in Keyshot **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 07, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** I enjoy how easy and intuitive it is to use. The click and drag features for different shaders are particularly useful. I also liked how easy it was to make and install your own custom environments, and to make changes to some of the pre-packaged shaders/ materials **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** For automotive renderings Keyshot can be quite hard to achieve a lighting environment that looks realistic on A vehicle. Often times the images are blown out and the metal flakes on many shaders simply do not look correct **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** Lots of trial and error to get the best results you will have to customize many options to fit your product **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Keyshot often in my work to visualize new car designs that I have created. I like the shot because if it's ease of use and great speed and visualizing what I am creating in real time ### 6. keyshot for a productdesign **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Plastics | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** Keyshot is the good program for professional worker that can't spend a lot of time for setting a render but at the some time they need a good quality render visualization. Also you can import directly the 3d models from the native formats of a lot of different 3D modelling programs. Another very usefull features that this program has is the plug-in that connects keyshot directly to different 3D modelling programs, like this if you made some upgrade at the 3d model do you don't need to re-import the model 3d in keyshot and re-set all the staff for the rendering but automatically then keyshot you will have 3d model upgrade **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** Is a very easy program but some times the setting of HDRI maps and light are limited **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** I recommend this program to industrial and product designer that focus their time in the quality of the project and with short time they can make good render **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** You can improve the quality of your work because reduce a lot the time for produce the render. ### 7. Easy-to-use features and great library. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** KeyShot is very user-friendly, it has nice and simple interface that is easy to learn and use. Drag and drop feature is convenient. Good amount of material selections in the material library. I like the capability of customizing materials. Overall, it creates professional quality rendering. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** I wish KeyShot allows its user to open multiple tabs of different files at a time. Scaling and moving is sometimes difficult to control. I also do not like the fact that all the parts with the same colors are linked together when imported, I have to either charge colors of each part before importing into KeyShot, or unlink each material one by one after importing. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** KeyShot Float is a nice thing to consider if you have multiple computers and will not use them at the same time. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows us designers to present our ideas and designs clearly to other departments and clients. We also use it to create renderings for use on brochures and catalogs. ### 8. A necessary tool that provides endless frustration **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** I like that Keyshot can produce great looking renderings and animations. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** I dislike the cumbersome process of working between Keyshot and solidworks. While the plugin is nice for quick import, I find the "update" feature to be worthless. Applied materials suddenly jump around and nothing stays consistent. I prefer to re import my model each time I make an update just so keyshot doesn't switch a material around that I end up not noticing until I have already rendered. Sometimes I wait 10 minutes for an import to complete, only to have no geometry show up. Or random surfaces and parts will randomly appear. Or material differentiation will no longer remain. Assembly mates are not transferred into Keyshot from Solidworks. Moving parts of a model becomes an agonizing process. I either tediously translate and duplicate parts in keyshot, or import multiple models for the various movements. Importing multiple large assemblies ends up making Keyshot get incredibly slow. Solidworks 2016 has bunkspeed rendering integrated which could give keyshot a run for its money. The ability to be able to harness the mates and mobility of my model since it would never leave Solidworks is huge. Along with the aspect of never having to import. Keyshot brings in models at differing scales all the time, even within the same scene. Why is one imported solidworks file a scale of 1 and another .0023. Keyshot files easily corrupt when using the keyshot feature tree to restructure parts. Tech support acknowledged that this happens long ago, yet it has not been corrected. Over the years Keyshot has added so many different check boxes and options, and it really isn't clear what they all do or how they will impact my renderings. A popup description next to these items would be great. It seems like crap just keeps getting layered on and detracting from actually making a good rendering. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** At the moment keyshot will provides the easiest way to get great renderings. However many flaws within the workflow have the potential to cause a great deal of frustration. New products such as Bunkspeed integrated into solidworks, or Fusion 360 that include integrated rendering might give keyshot a run for its money. However it is unclear if their end product quality is better or not. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** We need to provide high fidelity concept renderings to our clients to convey ideas and move forward in a project. ### 9. The treat after creating a complex model **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ke'Don F. | Junior Industrial Designer, Higher Education, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** Being able to apply real textures and color maps that pushes your model to the level. Amazing renders when quality setting are properly adjusted. The camera settings feature such a blurred and focused with dept perception also give a great touch to any masterpiece. Keyshot allows you to edit any material down to the decimal giving you complete control over your selected material. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** System crashs are the worse, which is extremely fustrating when working on a complex model. The perspective view is another problem when trying to adjust to an imported photo background. Lighting environments are also a testy problem and take a few moments to adjust to a decent a realistic lighting feature. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** Being able to fully edit your environment lighting by adding and subtracting light within the program. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** The main benefits of this program is the bump,color and label maps. Being able to duplicate parts and models is also a big help in this program. ### 10. Keyshot overview **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eduardo R. | Freelance Designer, Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** One of the best characteristics of keyshot is the fast improvement on each release, I start working with it since the first release and is impressive how much they have improve over the years. The interface is quite simple to use, so even if you are a beginner with non experience on rendering you can accomplish decent results in matter of minutes with out even get inside the HDRI editor or the editing materials. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** My main dislike will be the post process, I will like to have a basic contrast and levels for the output render, and more texture materials, for special effects. Also will be nice to have a texture editor to create bump maps. All those issues can be solve using post process on another software such as Photoshop, but will be nice to have it all in one pack. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** Keyshot has a pretty good forum community always ready for help and share. To learn the basics I will recommend to subscribe to his official youtube channel and check the webinars. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Speed is the main asset for this software. Most of the time the client needs fast renders from several views on a short time or several color variations. ### 11. Keyshot helps me to improvise and be creative with nice and professionally results in a short time. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Félix U. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** Hi! I’m a industrial Designer from Argentina. I use frequently KeyShot for all my Works and proyects. When im done with the 3D modeling of a product or an object in SolidWorks, I import the model into KeyShot without any problem and I instantly start testing differents materials, textures and lights in a really easy and intuitive way, thanks to his simple interface design. It is easy as you select the material that you want and drop it in the 3D model. Next I do many diferent reders, very fast, because KeyShot have a very powerful render technology and also, one of the qualities that have, is that is rendering in realtime. Everything inside KeyShot happens in realtime, thats aloud you to see the results of all the materials you chose and adjust the lighting and the camera really fast. The speed who brings KeyShot cannot be compared. So this helps me to achieve nice and professionals results in my work with really realistic definitions. KeyShot is a very powerful and strong tool and highly satisfactory, something that other software could not bring me. I highly recomend it and I assure you an excelent result in your proyects in a short time. Keyshot helps me to do something that no other software could…it helps me to improvise and be creative. And it’s fun. You can see some of my Works in my profile of behance (Behance.net/usellini.di) **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** Sometimes I would like to have more variety of environment, have more options epecially on outdoor and incide lighting enviroments. Also more backplates will be great. The textures could be better but you can adjust all that kind of editions if you like. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use KeyShot to create photorealistic images or renders of my 3D models of any industrial-commercial product, decorative objects , furnitures , electronic devices , etc. Also I create animations very fast and uploud the data directly to the web ( KeyShotVR ) for sharing my work and proyects with everyone more profesionally using only one link. ### 12. Smooth and handy **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chen W. | Design Lead, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** The efficiency and usability of Keyshot is impressive. I do like the interface and all the settings. The new animation tool is very handy and smooth, it is very easy to edit and preview the animation. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** I dislike that how I import new models or scenes to Keyshot and I have to redo all the settings to the model, like material. I don't like the group feature either, it is difficult to use. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** Try it, it is very easy to hand on. I do like the animation tool which you can make a animation rendering very easy and quick. It can showcase your design in a motion, which is more straightforward and clear. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am a designer, I use keyshot to render my designs and showcase my design to clients. I do enjoy the efficiency and quality of Keyshot. I used Keyshot to render my shoe design, which is very complicated on the surface and material rendering. But Keyshot did a great job on rendering my shoe. Now I am doing robot design, which includes lots of parts, I really like the glossness of metal. ### 13. Keyshot Review - Positive experience overall **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Owen W. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 16, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** I like how easy Keyshot is to use. Simply drag and drop the type of material you want, and it immediately updates your model visually. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** Compared to other rendering software I have used, Keyshot has less versatility and functionality. For example, I have done a lot of work in Blender's Cycles rendering engine, which gives almost limitless control when it comes to rendering complex textures, and this is something that Keyshot cannot do. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** Keyshot is great for some things, but it's always good to pick the type of 3D software that's right for your needs. In my experience, Keyshot is really good for very fast, quick renderings for industrial design and engineering, but it's not good for more complex rendering tasks such as concept art. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am currently an industrial design student, so I have used Keyshot as a means to render many of my projects over the years. I have also done some freelance industrial design work where I used Keyshot to produce renderings for my product design concepts. ### 14. Excellent render software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David C. | Design Engineer, Automotive, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** Keyshot is an excellent software, is very light to be supported by our computers, it has broad compatibility with 3d modeling software, is easy to learn and use. You can get renders so quickly, it is very useful in industrial design to present new products or making catalogs **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** I would like know more about how create my own materials, i dont know if keyshot has a web portal with people sharing materials these is always a good idea. I dont know if the software can be configured to improve the rendering time using the computer cores and grafics card no matter wheter of one brand or another **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Prepare scenaries to render was always a slow task, it improves with keyshot because it has a very good library to get good results without wasting times also is easy edit them. Is an easy software to learn and teach ### 15. Easy and fast way of rendering products. My creativity has never felt so free. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Arthur R. | Designer, Graphic Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** Easy of use and quick and interactive learning progress. I'd say that one can learn how to use KeyShot and all its features in about one week of intense practicing. That is so little time for learning a software that will give you stunning, pro-looking product renders in a fraction of time. This, however, doesn't mean that KeyShot lacks of features. In fact, the opposite applies – this rendering tool is provided with many controls and fine-tuning adjustments. Also, the built-in material library is astounding, ad the HDRI editor is amazing. That means that, in 90% of the time, KeyShot will allow you to get just the picture you had in mind. In addition, the animation feature comes in handy. As you'd expect, it's very simple and easy to use as well. If you know the basics of timelines and keyframes, you'll master this feature as quick as the blink of an eye. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** Despite the ease of use, quick learning and great flexibility, KeyShot has its downsides. I've been using this software for about three years and I've been thinking on moving on to a more professional rendering app. Sometimes, you'll notice that the renderings don't look as photorealistic as you'd expect, specially if you're working with a scene with more than one element. The best looking pictures you can achieve is by enabling the "Interior mode", that simulates light rays bounces closer to what happens in the real world. But it's still not real enough – the ambient occlusion doesn't always look right and the overall picture look somewhat fake and with no depth in colors and shadows. Sometimes Photoshop can solve this problem, but it's something that could be avoided by introducing a better render engine (without increasing rendering time). Also, another detail that bothers me is the disappointing depth of field option. It always looks grainy and fake, and adds up a lot of rendering time. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** 3D visualization and concepts renderings generation. I've accomplished a fairly good number of positive feedback on YouTube, Behance and some tech news websites with my devices and design concepts of future products. ### 16. Perfect for fast renderings **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pierre B. | Product Design Student, Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** I use Keyshot for my design studies for 4 years now. I learned everything by myself and the software is really intuitive and easy to handle. This software can import a huge number of files with a large range of extension. Moreover, a direct link with HDRLight Studio is build with the software, you don't need extra plug-in. During using, you will find a large default library of material (split in different categories), environement and the Pantone colors too. Camera are also really easy to move, especially with the "look this point" option, which allow to select directly a focus point in the scene. About the renderings, you have not so much settings to manage, "time" or "quality" are clearly enought and the ratio quality/time is really good. Another thing interesting is the "Rendering queue". You just have to set a view, add to the queue and move to the next one. At the end, just start the queue and wait for all. Keyshot can also render animations, and you can set keyshot to render it frame by frame or directly in the movie. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** Globally it's a good software, but it's not possible to use displacement map for texturing and the output channels can be better with a shadow channel. But this is just few details if you want something really perfect. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** A really great software to start with rendering softwares. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use keyshot for my differents design project to have a good realistic overview/details in a short time. ### 17. Easy to use, great results **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rachel d. | Industrial Designer, Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** - Ease of use - Simple user interface - Color and material options - Easy to add to materials library **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** - Price point can be a deterrent for freelancers, but you get what you pay for. - Wood material can be a little iffy to use, but adjustments can be made. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** Don't be a pirate. If you want it, buy it and support those who worked hard to develop this software. It's worth the investment. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sometimes CAD models need additional rendering to better convey the idea and CMF possibilities. KeyShot is great for adding another level of realism to something that has yet to be produced. ### 18. Create render with 3D files **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 27, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** I like the simplicity to use this software, and the rapidity you can get satisfactory results. Lots of materials are already ready to use, and you can import other with simple tools. HDRI support is also intuitive and qualitative. Real time render allow you to view directly if the result match with what you expect. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** You can hardly edit 3D models you import, such as moving individual parts. The ease of use of the software make it difficult if you want to go deeper in the quality of the render. Even if you can manage a lot of parameter, you can't expect having a photorealistic results. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** Keyshot provide very good renders rapidly without modifying too much parameters. However you don't get as good result as integrated 3D tool such as V-ray. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm doing rendering to present 3D representation, The benefit i get by using Keyshot is geting quick quality renders. In Some minutes, you can place material and adjust them on depending on your needs. The files that you end up with is directly usable in photoshop. In this way you can edit easily and instantly by selecting textures in photoshop thanks to multilayer psd generated from keyshot. ### 19. Initially accessible, but a lot of hidden features for the more experienced **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** Keyshot allows me to produce professional quality renderings of the products that I build in programs such as Solidworks and Alias. The best aspect of Keyshot over other rendering software I've experienced is it's ability to map complex textures. I've done products with light elements and other components behind fabric in Keyshot that I did not believe I was going to be able to generate without Photoshop. I've also seen hyper realistic sub-surface scattering to create skin-like textures from the work of my peers. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** Lighting is well rendered but can be difficult to control if you are trying to do something more complicated, such as using your model as the light source. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** Excellent texture renderings, abundance of content through Keyshot cloud **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keyshot allows me to create professional photo-realistic renderings that are necessary for fully communicating my design to others. ### 20. A great software for quick rendering **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** Importing a file is super simple, and you can start working on materials super fast. There is a good material library and you can easily edit all of them. The rendering in real time is extremely useful, depending on the power of your computer you can have a quick idea of what your rendering will looks like. Having light scenes implemented is great and you can adjust them. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** Doesn't feel like realistic renderings. A lot of settings is great but sometimes you are completely lost and don't know what are the effects of the settings. The light scenes are a good way of having a quick rendering, but it's a bit tricky when you want to have multiple lights or a precise light orientation. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Use keyshot as a product designer, for quick rendering for the clients. ### 21. Incredibly high powered tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gary M. | Product Designer, Biotechnology, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** Render quality. Keyshot generates the best texture, color, and light renders. The lighting and material controls are easy to use, and they are made to create pleasing results from any combination of settings. I was able to easily create explanatory, communicative renders to show how things work and interact, and then create dramatic, product photograpy-esque renders to sell the design. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** In general, this is a complicated software, so the UI and UX are usually the things to suffer. Continued refinement of the controls for editing materials, lights, and scenes will help dramatically. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** do it. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I used this product primarily when I was in school. I used Keyshot to create renders of my Industrial Design studio projects for presentation and communication. Keyshot makes it easy to go from solidworks model to beautiful marketing image. ### 22. CUSTOM HARLEY DAVIDSON **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Islam E. | Graphic Designer, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** keyshot is very smart render its gives me 90% for what i need. very good in lighting and very fast for for low poly models. i feel comfortable with it.simple and easy **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** i think i need more options to make texture and i need more materials i think that i dislike **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** This is what I advise my designers **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** sometimes i do need to render some simple models quickly without crashing my pc and that what i found it in keyshot..about benefits like i said before is so important to me to my tasks faster render ### 23. High quality, easy-to-use renderer **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Benjamin Z. | Automotive Designer, Automotive, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** The simplest interface and learning curve, yet extremely high quality results in very little time. Keyshot can create renderings competitive with much more expensive software, in a fraction of the time. I like how Keyshot shows the image as it's being rendered, pixel-by-pixel. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** Inability to set up individual lights or complex environments. Real-time rendering is less efficient than I've seen in other programs, making tumbling around a model difficult at times when framerate drops and it takes a while to load. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** Very simple yet powerful, Keyshot will meet the majority of rendering quality needs with very little time investment. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Extremely high quality renderings in very little time. Very simple to use with little to no training. ### 24. Keyshot is lean and mean!! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eugene K. | Co-founder, Packaging and Containers, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** I like how light and lean the software is. I have used many different type of rendering software for my 3D projects and keyshot is one of the lightest and fastest software. But also capable of rendering very heavy object files. I really appreciate this fast/lightness of a rendering software. Unless you are a professional interior /architectural designer, I don't think you need all the features such as v-ray and custom light source modifications. Eugene **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** I don't have anything I dislike. I like it all. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** very light and fast software. should solve all your rendering tasks. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I design packaging for cosmetic industry. so I often have to present my ideas using 3D realization/ photo-realistic finishes. I like how keyshot because it is compatible with solidworks as well. ### 25. Amazing speed with amazing quality **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Luca F. | Product Designer, Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** Putting material it never been that easy and funny (even easely customizable with bump and normal maps). Some rendering feature like setting focus on camera or the HDR integrated software are very usefull. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** Actually you cannot export the renderings queue to use the file in other computers. This would be amazing. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** If you need fast renderings with amazing results for your products this is a must-have tool for you. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I’m saving a lot of time by doing amazing rendering to present my product. ### 26. Keyshot provides awesome detailed renders for industrial design projects. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** CheeMin L. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** The best part about keyshot is that it allows you to use multiple materials for your designs thus, allowing the user to see what their product would look like in different circumstances. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** To allow a very detailed render, it may take a longer time by adjusting the render time. It may be inconvenient but the quality definitely does show in the outcome. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** Keyshot allows quality renders for projects. It can provide a realistic image to allow people to visualize easily what the product may look like. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** none. ### 27. KeyShot Review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** KeyShot it is really easy to learn and use. It is perfect for 3d products rendering. I prefer to use this software rather than Soldiworks or 3d studio max for my renders. You can set up a scene with the lights and materials in 20 mn and the result is really photorealistic. I would recommend all industrial designers to use this software. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** KeyShot can be a bit slow if there is to much pieces imports and sometimes I have troubles to import a project from solidworks. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** KeyShot is great for rendering all my design projects, I am winning a lot of time since I am using it and the quality of the rendering is better than any other software. ### 28. Perfect software for designers **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Antoine G. | Training footwear designer intern, Sporting Goods, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 25, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** Keyshot is a wonderfull software, fast and powerfull. The interface is super simple, clear and Easy to understand. You have 4-5 thumbnails with everything inside. The software is very simple, you have only the options you need for a good render. keyshot is perfect to render fast and try different colors, textures and finitions. You can integrate in a environnement super easily. It is not made for ultra realistic renders but for fast and good renders. You dont have to learn how to use it as it is so simple ! **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** The only thing that could be improved could be the quality of the render. Otherwise it is a great software. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I used it to try different finitions on products and put them into an environnement. ### 29. The perfect tool for a Senior Designer **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marco S. | Chief Product Designer & Project Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 12, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** Sometimes you don't have time to do a good rendering, to set all the environment lights the materials and so on. Keyshot is the perfect way to give to your customer an high quality rendering in few steps. I always use it **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** Sometimes some crash happen and you don't have a backup file as far as i saw **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** Save multiple copies of your works to avoid to loose the work of few hours **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm able to create all the material for fairs, catalogue and leaflet of unexisting products and it seem they are already produced. ### 30. useful and easy to use **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Julia Marina C. | Estagiário, Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** there is a lot of personalization options, is easy to use, the materials library is diverse. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** The animation configuration could be easier and also give more options of possible movements. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Well, to be fair, I'm a design student, so I use Keyshot for university projects and sometimes to join design competitions. I think the results I get with Keyshot are pretty good in terms of product representation, if well managed it looks very real. ### 31. My Keyshot Experience **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** The best thing of keyshot is its intuitiveness and its facility to use. Even when you start and you don't know how to use the software you can reach good results just playing with some options. When I firstly started to use Keyshot my need was to reach better results without losing much time with all the settings of the material, enviroment, etc., that my previous renderer had, I needed faster rusults but with a good quality. After some time of use now my library of materials increased, and also my skills, now I reach excellent results in few steps. And if I decide to dedicate more time, the results are even more marvelous. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** The thing that today in my opinion should be improved first of all is the texture mapping, that more than often must be set previously in the design software you use. Something that anyway with some experience you can overstep. Even, I often have some problems with the normal map. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** Play with the commands, play with the enviroments and the editor and excellent results will are arrive shortly. Just remember you always have to prepare the file properly before importing it to Keyshot to compensate some missings (texture mapping, UV, normal map, etc.) **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** In FMCG are often needed lot of renderings or animations with different points of view and in short times. Keyshot solves the problem. ### 32. Good for learners **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** The library and forum of the software is very helpful. Though you may not end up using the materials and environment the are default in the library, but it saves time to get the closest possible feel of the material needed and the same can be edited to get the desired effect. Also the environments available can be edited easily, size or the lights and its position, to get the shadows and highlights properly. Always a post production software is needed though to get the final render. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** The lighting renders in keyshot are not up to the mark. Area light and point light features are not useful to get a good lighting effect. Also the integration with 3D modelling software is confusing as changes in both softwares can be done and at the end it hard to track them individually. Also same happens when we import a model to merge with an existing model in keyshot. It does not support integration for both then. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** We mostly work on product realisation and visualisation for showing the features and the form of the product on our website. Also using storyboard helps us to get more clarity into the working of the product. Animation of the exploded view or the moving parts in the products can be made into a video to give an immersive experience. All this helps in explaining the product throughly only through visuals which is desirable when the product is to be showcased on line. ### 33. love at first sight **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 17, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** im a beginner in digital rendering and had experience with a few programs, but once i ran into KeyShot, i just stopped looking for any other option. Compared to other experiences i've had, KeyShot was the easiest to get a decent scene with almost no effort at all. by setting only a few things i could get a pretty good shot, which, in the beginning was already enough for me. with time i got better at it and could make even better poses. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** i think the moving of objects could get better. i had really big issues with it in the beginning and now im able to work with it but im not really happy about how poorly it works. there should be some way to create relations between objects, otherwise creating a big scene is just a nightmare. i usually set the scene in SolidWorks and export to KeyShot afterwards. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** im a young designer; just graduated from college, trying to make my way into the market and selling my own furniture and other products. KeyShot helps me show my skills in digital 3d modelling and rendering to costumers and possible employers. this gives me credibility to keep my work going. ### 34. Excellent, realistic renders made easy for students! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** The best thing about keyshot is - Its easy to learn, WYSWYG interface, which makes it easy to get a hang of it for the beginners. - The lighting! which is very easy to play with and realistic. - Materials like glass and plastic render superbly in Keyshot, with various finishes! - Ability to take render an solidowrks assembly, part by part...and the ability to hide a part at will! **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** - The light settings can somewhat be arrived at by playing around, but not always the case that it can be exactly replicated. - The fact that the software used only my PC processor and RAm rather than my graphic card, which limits my playing around the software like solidworks simultaneously impossible **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** Simple to learn and very easy and realistic for student level! **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quick modelling to software rendering downtime, making it easy for the people to actually "see" the product finish and trim which we designers fret about so much and they dont understand why we are! Have not used i for business yet as I still am a student! ### 35. Student User **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** I've used other rendering programs in the past, and nothing was as user-friendly as Keyshot. I had great luck using this in school to quickly render several furniture designs in a short period. The consistencies in the program allowed me to easily create a coordinating product collection that rendered as such. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** I can't say that anything in particular stands out in a negative way for me. Keyshot is far and above other rendering software I was exposed to in school, and will continue to be the standard for me. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** I can't speak to the full extent of what all can be achieved via Keyshot, but I can absolutely say that it is what I will stick with for my work. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keyshot is crucial to me for rendering product designs realistically- which is absolutely key in furniture and product designs. It makes it simple to take my models from "in-progress" to feeling like a real, complete package. ### 36. Simple and a very effective software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Electronics | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** The software's simplicity is what caught my attention. Just drag and drop from the vast library of many materials, environment and textures. If this software, used properly on a good and detailed 3d model, ultra realistic renders could be made. Also this software uses CPU instead of GPU, and hence it works on almost all PC's (you need not have a powerful GPU). **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** The software tends to slow down the system when artificial lighting is used. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** Very powerful rendering tool. Go for it. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** A concept could be shown and pitched for even before any prototype is made. With numerous lighting techniques and environments, you can make anyone like your product. ### 37. Keyshot has been an invaluable resource for me to render out my design intents in high fidelity. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Haiden G. | Designer, Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** I like the quick, easy, drag & drop application of materials, lighting and colorways. I also appreciate the real time render feature that allows you to see exactly what's happening and when. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** I do not like the fact that it costs so much. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** It is worth your while, and will be the easiest setup you encounter. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Selling through visions of product concepts that were previously only possible using sketching and markers. ### 38. KeyShot is an amazing rendering tool for 3D Models. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** KeyShot has great graphic rendering quality with high resemblance to real-life materials. It offers various materials and settings in which you can manipulate around to get the desired appearance. Also the short video rendering tool is great for product videos. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** KeyShot does lack some intuitively in 3D exploration interface. Also sometimes the objects look too blurred or too sharp. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** It is easy to adapt to then Vray or Renderman. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am a product design student who uses KeyShot regularly to create 3D rendering of my concept design before actually making the prototypes. It is a wonderful tool to use because it is simple to use. ### 39. Keyshot Review **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** Intuitive interface that makes the rendering process more efficient. built-in material library that gives you basics you need to create your own materials. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** rendering results are ok qualities not close to production level artwork. It is hard to create high-quality and photo realistic images compared to other CGI render engine. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keyshot is an effortless rendering that can save a lot of time for internal discussions. For entry-level users Keyshot is a good starting point. And its learning curve is not steep. You can expect to see results immediately. ### 40. A great tool if you want to produce rendering jobs and you are not a geek! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paulo C. | Owner, Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 17, 2015 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** This tool is so easy to use that the first time I got in touch with it, I lost some twenty minutes looking for menus and options that simply don´t exist. You just have to drag the material to your 3d model and make some small tweaks. If you are working in product design research this is the render engine you need. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** Not so useful for architecture and interior design work. Sometimes, adjusting 360º panoramas as an environment can be a very, very difficult process. Mapping materials is not so difficult but using labels (textures printed on objects) can lead to a tedious and slow task. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** If you are in the product design research area, this is great. If you need to render spaces - in Architecture or Interior Design, you must look for other solution. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Product design. Fast results when you need it. Excellent if you need to deliver some sketches to a potential client. ### 41. Beautiful results, but not so easy to learn **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joris M. | tekenaar, Furniture, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2015 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** It's a rendering program and that's what is does. The result can be stunning. You can manipulate the materials, lights, environment,... You receive a standard list of materials, colors, environments, backplates and textures to use. You can choose how much power Keyshot uses from your PC. If you don't use all the CPU cores the rendering can be done in the background. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** I found it difficult to add different material styles or colour to a single part. I also miss a good plywood texture for bended plywood and an easy way to add correct wood texture to wood. There are not much extra free materials. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** A good render saved us several real live samples. Much clients can't imagine how an object will look like with only technical drawings, so a good render is needed to understand what we designed. ### 42. Great Rendering Tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kyle M. | Brand Advisor, Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** It's an easy and versatile software that takes the pain out of making CAD files beautiful for presentation. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** My only disposition is the inability to have more than one object open at at time to edit. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** The benefits of this product make for better representation of renderings and orthographic views. ### 43. Product Renders **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Electronics | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 05, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** Keyshot is the best. It was a steep learning curve at first but there are plenty of resources online available to help educate. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** I wish material selection and customization could be a little easier or at least provide more detailed ones. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** Stick with it. Its a very powerful tool! **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to render product images while we are still in development. It has allowed us to properly market our product. ### 44.

The interface is intuitive, every parameters are modifiable. On the internet, it is easy to find many material samples. The import from Solidworks is simple. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** This rendering software is a bit tricky for lamps renderings and liquids, but with some experience and experimentation, the job can be done easily. **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I design a lot of furniture, sport goods and plastic molded pieces. This software help me to see quickly if my shape is harmonious and well lighted. ### 47. good software and getting better all the time. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** It's fast and most of the result come pretty good. And today they can do animation and VR in keyshot today with makes the software even more powerful than ever. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** if you forgot something in the modeling software like Rhino or other stuff. Surly you can re-import the model but if you ever changed the name or layer in rhino, it won't read it as you want. It will not replace the one you want replace but will just add a new one, which is a bit of annoying . **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** well, as a designer and a teacher, keyshot really saves ton of time for me to do design demo and presentations compare with some other software. ### 48. Academic **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christopher M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2016 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** The ability to simulate realistic scenes through lighting and materials. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** Once materials were selected, it didn't seem intuative to assign materials to individual parts. **Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:** I suggest to my fellow classmates that it is important to explore programs like Keyshot without super specific goals or deadlines in mind. By doing this, you can learn how the tool can be used to benifit your wor **What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use keyshot in an academic setting for aiding photo realistic rendering of design concepts. ### 49. Great tool for photo like quality renderings **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** John B. | Officer, Consumer Goods, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2015 **What do you like best about KeyShot?** The best part of the software is the great images it creates. It is easy to use. Also the ability to import about any type of CAD file. **What do you dislike about KeyShot?** Sometime the time it takes to load files.
