Design the KeyShot Material of Your Dreams
This is your chance to design the material of your dreams, creating something you wish everyone could use in their renderings. The challenge is simple. Design your own material – you could use KeyShot’s procedural textures, image files from the internet (free use non-copyrighted), or images of your own.
The YDxKeyShot Material Design Challenge has no rules – just have fun and keep creating! Need an exotic carbon fiber material? Create your own! See a nice terrazzo texture at your local cafe? Click a picture and turn it into a material! Need a never-before-seen cloth for that shoe design? Here’s the perfect opportunity to make it and share it with the world.
Once you design your material, how you present it matters too. Apply your material to an appropriate product and create a rendering that highlights your material in the best way possible. For example, if you design a wooden material, apply it to a piece of furniture. If you make a ceramic material, showcase it on a vase that’ll wow everyone! You can create and submit as many renderings as you want (or even an animation) exploring the product from different angles, or even up close if your material is detailed. Also, don’t forget to show us what the material looks like on the iconic KeyShot Material Ball! (Model downloads at link below.)
