KeyShot is a program for Windows popular among professionals in product design, engineering, architecture and animation spheres. There are rendering and animation tools that work with a wide range of 3D formats.
Illumination
Users are able to view photorealistic renders instantly with real-time ray tracing and scientifically accurate global illumination. As changes are made to lighting, materials or geometry, the preview window updates automatically to reflect them. Such live feedback accelerates the decision-making process.
Lighting
The application comes with HDRI presets, physical lights and environment control for creating dramatic or natural lighting effects. You are able to simulate daylight, interior setups or custom places by adjusting the sun and sky system or importing maps.
There are also timeline-based animation tools for creating smooth part movements, camera paths, rotations and exploded views. For advanced users, the Material Graph provides node-based editing for creating layered materials, shaders and procedural maps. Overall, you can build complex interactions between various elements. In case you need the recorder to capture all the changes in your projects, you may try Filmora Scrn.
