Cloudy Plastic? Anodized Metal? Candy Coats that make your mouth water? KeyShot 7 is filled with new materials and we want to see you make them scatter, sizzle and sparkle. This month, we kick off the latest KeyShot render competition!
This is your opportunity to create an amazing KeyShot scene using the all-new materials in KeyShot 7. What are these exciting, new materials worthy of having their own contest?
Cloudy Plastic contains light-scattering particles to replicate complex materials such as Polycarbonate or ABS.
Metal has 13 new metal presets along with the ability to load Complex IOR files and add an anodized appearance.
Metallic Paint has settings for Clear-coat Color, which allows you to create deep rich candy coats and adjust clear-coat thickness.
Toon has control of shadow color and texture and ability to control the visibility of shadows produced by Light Source Materials.
