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.

  1. 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.

  2. Start KeyVR - Press the (blue star) KeyVR button in the KeyShot Toolbar (KeyShot 8 and forward) or launch the KeyVR application directly.

  3. 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.
