It’s day two of massively cool render news for Luxion. The exhibition hall at SIGGRAPH opens up today and we’re anxious to show you what we’ve been working on and all we’ll be announcing this week. Today, we introduce KeyShotXR, a fresh, new way to create interactive 3D content, publish it over the web and view it on any device.
KeyShotXR has five possible modes: Turntable, Hemi-spherical, Spherical, Tumble and Custom
KeyShotXR
With KeyShotXR, you’re able to create high-quality, touch-enabled, 3D rendered content capable of display in any web browser supporting HTML5. The content can be interacted with using mouse or finger on touch-enabled devices and doesn’t require a browser plugin to work. KeyShotXR is not WebGL-based, so you’re able to get the highest quality visuals possible across the widest range of devices.
How does it work?
Ok, so here’s how it works. First, KeyShotXR needs to be enabled via an upgraded KeyShot license file (Contact here for info). After this, an addtional KeyShotXR button will appear in the toolbar. When a scene is loaded and the KeyShotXR button is pressed, a wizard guides you through the setup of the KeyShotXR, with on-screen, interactive feedback of the final KeyShotXR result. KeyShot will produce the individual images of the KeyShotXR content, the HTML code for integration into any website and the JavaScript to support progressive loading of images. Then just upload the content and you’re ready to go.

Interested in using KeyShotXR? It’s currently undergoing Beta testing and will be available in the next few weeks. If you would like to try it out, see examples or have questions about how you can use it, visit the KeyShotXR page.
Update
Some have asked about the KeyShotXR settings. A simple wizard walks you through all the steps. At the end you then have to option to go to the Render Settings to fine tune and access additional setting to produce a KeyShotXR.
