Could we *actually* pick just one favorite KeyShot rendering of 2022? Psh. No sooner could we select a single favorite star in the sky. Still, we made an effort to gather some of our favorites from this year. The following KeyShot renderings caught our attention for a variety of reasons, whether it was stunning realism, outlandish creativity, razor-sharp caustics, or just good-old-fashioned cleverness.
Also: is this list remotely comprehensive? Of course not. Feel free to share with us the killer KeyShot renderings we missed in the comments.
