KeyShot is a stand-alone, real-time ray tracing and global illumination program used to create 3D renderings, animations and interactive visuals. With its CPU-based architecture, photorealistic real-time rendering can be achieved on both Mac and PC, even on laptops, without the need for high-end graphics cards.
KeyShot supports more 3D file formats than any other rendering software, importing over 25 different file types. It has a simple user interface with drag-n-drop material and environment presets, interactive labeling, texture mapping, physical lighting, animation and much more.
KeyShot is…
Fast
Everything inside KeyShot happens in real-time. KeyShot uses unique rendering technology which makes it possible to see all changes to materials, lighting, and cameras instantly.
Easy
You don’t have to be a rendering expert to create photorealistic images of your 3D models. Simply import your data, assign materials by dragging and dropping them onto the model, adjust the lighting, and move the camera. Done.
Accurate
KeyShot is the most accurate rendering solution for your 3D data. KeyShot is built on Luxion’s internally developed, physically correct render engine based on research in the areas of scientifically accurate material representation and global illumination. KeyVR allows designers, clients, and stakeholders to easily view and manipulate models, scroll through model sets, multi-materials and virtual environments to make faster, better decisions.
Prepare your scene - Import CAD files into KeyShot, create materials, environments, animations, cameras and save as a BIP (or KSP) file. Take into account the current KeyVR Capabilities. For more tips on setting up your scene visit the Scene setup page.
Start KeyVR - Press the
KeyVR button in the KeyShot Toolbar (KeyShot 8 and forward) or launch the KeyVR application directly.Experience - Now you can inspect your 3D model in a photo realistic rendering, and make design decisions from the animations, multi-materials, model-sets and different environments. The 3D geometry can be inspected by walking around, "flying", teleporting, selecting predefined camera and manipulating the position and appearance of individual objects in the scene.

System Requirements
The following system requirements should be understood as a rough guideline for most average users. The quality and smoothness of your experience is determined by several other factors: The complexity of your scenes (triangle count and amount of textures), the type of headset (eye resolution, field of view and preferred refresh rate) and the graphics quality settings in the KeyVR preferences.
If you are running highly complex scenes (10+ million triangles) with a very high-resolution headset on Ultra graphics for example, you may well find that following our recommended system requirements exactly may not suffice to offer a smooth 90Hz experience. In this case you could either reduce your graphics settings in KeyVR, especially the render scale in the custom mode, or upgrade to a more powerful GPU.
On the other hand, it may well be possible to successfully run KeyVR on a computer with weaker components than what we list as the minimum required if you are only viewing basic scenes with a low-resolution headset and on Low graphics settings, or can tolerate a low framerate in VR.
