If you subscribe to our newsletter (and you should!), you’ve probably seen a few highlights of what’s to come in KeyShot 3. We’re excited about it and think you will be to. If for no other reason than it’s the first version that introduces KeyShot Animation to your toolset. It’s more than simple turntable animation too. It’s complete interactive setup and part orientation in a fully raytraced environment with realtime playback to boot. It’s the ease of KeyShot rendering applied directly to animation. Here’s more of what you’ll see in the new version and a special deal for those thinking about buying KeyShot.
KeyShot 3 Features
As you see above, KeyShot 3 is lookin’ fresh. We’ve revamped the interface a bit, making it cleaner and more streamline. You’ll also notice a new library interface along with a new material library. The window down below the realtime render window is the all new KeyShot Animation timeline, showing hos you’re able to set up combinations of rotation, translation and turntable effects. What else? Have a look.
