The KeyShot crew fills you in with the latest KeyShot tips and tricks, insight into 3D rendering technology and the people creating the coolest visuals across the engineering, product design and entertainment industries.

Last week, the door to the top secret KeyShot development lab at KeyShot headquarters was opened and, amidst the glow of stereoscopic screens and rendered light, out came new updates for our KeyShot Rhino plugin. They’re small but important updates you will want to grab as they address capabilities which allow you to import geometry with all the information you need to continue your 3D rendering and animation crusade. Here’s the breakdown for the updates to the plugin.

KeyShot Rhino Plugin

The Rhino plugin has the KeyShot LiveLinkingTM capability that allows you to transfer updates from the modeling software to KeyShot without losing any materials applied to your parts or setting applied to your scene. You can also export to KeyShot’s native file format with all geometry, structure and colors included without having KeyShot installed. All plugins are a free download, available on the KeyShot Plugins page and compatible with Windows 32/64bit operating systems with versions for both KeyShot 3 and KeyShot 4.

Updates for Rhino 4 & 5:

  • Layer order and all sub-layers, including all names, are maintained, just like the direct importer
