Ribbon

The KeyShot Ribbon 

The Ribbon provides quick access to commonly used settings, tools, commands, and windows in KeyShot. 

The Ribbon can be customized and saved in Workspaces. To customize what is shown in the Ribbon, right click and enable relevant buttons.

Workspaces
Select a predefined Workspace, create and manager your own, or select between the Light and Dark theme interface.

CPU/GPU Usage 
Depending on whether the Real-time View is in CPU/GPU mode you can limit how many cores of your CPU/which GPUs are allocated for KeyShot.

Pause
Pauses Real-time View rendering.

 Performance Mode
Toggle on to lower real-time render settings for faster performance. Performance Mode is also accessible via the Lighting tab.

GPU Mode
If your PC has a GPU which meets the requirements, this button will be present in the Ribbon, and enable you to switch to GPU Mode. If the Icon i disabled it means that the GPU Driver needs to be updated.

Denoise
Toggle denoising. Denoise is one of the Image style options, and as such the state will follow current Image Style. If the image style is locked, the Denoise button in the Ribbon will be disabled.

 NURBS Mode (Pro Only)
Enables NURBS Data to be rendered in the Real-time View.

Region (Pro Only)
Enables Region rendering.

Tumble, Pan, Dolly Camera
Select the default left mouse button behavior. This is especially helpful when working on a laptop with only a track pad, as the 3 modes require a mouse with scroll wheel.
