KeyShot Benefits for
Blender Users
Intuitive Interface
You won’t need to struggle for days to learn KeyShot basics. Our uniquely easy-to-learn interface is one of the biggest benefits, and designers tell us it makes work a joy instead of a chore. It frees you up to focus more on your idea, concept or design, instead of figuring out complicated software.
Speed
Everything inside KeyShot happens in real-time. It uses unique rendering technology that makes it possible to see all changes to materials, lighting, and cameras instantly. No more waiting for minutes and hours to see your results. As soon as you assign a material to a part, you will see what a material will look like under the given lighting conditions.
Power
KeyShot doesnʼt require any special hardware or graphics card. It takes full advantage of all cores and threads inside a computer. As your computer gets more powerful, KeyShot becomes faster.
Unbeatable Accuracy
Your stunning visuals are backed by science. KeyShot is the most accurate rendering solution for your 3D data. It’s the first real-time ray tracing application that uses a physically correct render engine based on research in the areas of scientifically accurate material representation and global illumination.
Large Data Sets
Created a complicated image? No sweat. KeyShot can handle extremely large data sets. There are no restrictions on the size of the data set as long as your computer has enough memory available. It has been optimized to work with models with tens of millions of polygons, even on a standard laptop.
