10 Features That Change How You Work

Stop wasting hours on render-wait-adjust cycles. See your final render as you build it. Every material, lighting, and camera change updates instantly in the viewport, no waiting for test renders. What you see is what you get, live.
Speed

Achieve faster concepts, reduced design review, and local security with AI tools that run entirely on your machine. Restyle explores materials and finishes. Background generates photorealistic environments. Imagine creates concept images from text prompts. Unlimited usage, zero cloud fees, complete privacy.
AI · Included in every plan

Go from bare geometry to client-ready materials in seconds. Browse a library of scientifically accurate materials, metals, plastics, glass, fabric, wood, and more, then drag them directly onto geometry. No complex settings required for stunning resultsstrong>. Dive into advanced material creation with the full Material Graph for procedural control.
Ease of use

Advanced material capability in KeyShot Studio is the difference between good and photorealistic. Layer materials, blend textures with masks, add displacement and procedural scratches, all within a node-based editor that's more intuitive than any competing system. Now dockable in the main UI with snap-to-grid and quick-search for fast node insertion.
Advanced control

Import once, accurately. No geometry loss, no conversion steps. Import directly from SolidWorks, Creo, CATIA, Rhino, Blender, SketchUp, Fusion, NX, and 26+ others. One-click plugins for major CAD appsstrong> push models straight to KeyShot. Metadata from CAD files is preserved and displayed automatically.
Compatibility

No more lighting compromises because you can't isolate control. Assign lights to specific parts of your scene and control each independentlystrong>. Adjust intensity directly in the viewport, lock rotation axes for symmetrical setups, and art-direct highlights with precision.
Precision

Replace expensive photo/video shoots and create presentation content without leaving KeyShot Studio. Create turntable animations, exploded views, camera flythroughs, and part visibility toggles in minutes. Perfect for presentations, social media content, and product launch videosstrong>, all inside KeyShot Studio.
Storytelling

Cut render times by 50–70% with a single clickstrong>. Enable Denoise with a single click to get clean, noise-free images in a fraction of normal render time. Works in both real-time preview and final output. Now supports NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs for even faster performance.
Performance

Jewelry, glass, and beverage visuals that replace physical photography, save money, and look incredible. True caustic lighting produces physically correct light refraction through glass, water, and gems. Combined with real-time global illumination, your renders achieve a level of realism that makes viewers question whether it's a photograph.
Realism

End inconsistent material appearance and tedious masking. Render Cryptomatte passes for effortless post-production compositing. Create and import OpenPBR materials for consistent results without manual rebuilds. KeyShot Studio integrates cleanly into professional production workflowsstrong>.
