Overview

The Revolution in 3D Rendering

Photorealistic 3D rendering usually is very time-consuming and requires considerable knowledge. Therefore it´s less the actual rendering time for high-resolution images being the time-critical issue, but the long delays for generating the preview adding-up with every step. Due to its extremely fast and powerful rendering algorithm KeyShot permanently responds to user interaction: The result is displayed immediately with all effects. Snapshots are so convincing, in many cases high resolution rendering can be spared.

An absolutely unique feature of KeyShot is its extremely simple operation. The user interface concentrates on the significant tasks and enables even complete beginners to create realistic images in the blink of an eye.

KeyShot´s rendering algorithms are based on scientific results enabling the highest precision photorealism.

Although I was not able to have too much time using this software, it is absolutely fab, and definitely the easiest CAD renderer I have used. I have used 3DS in the past and for University work a long time ago, but this is so easy to engage with, and has a very good output.
