Connect KeyShot Studio with Solid Edge
KeyShot Studio for Solid Edge allows you to increase the quality of your design images, animations, and interactive visuals. This integration allows KeyShot Studio to be launched directly from the Solid Edge interface, automatically sending both the design and all the assigned material appearances to KeyShot Studio. Additionally, KeyShot Studio for Solid Edge implements LiveLinking™, which allows you to push any changes in the Solid Edge design directly back into KeyShot Studio without losing any of the material assignments, animations, lighting, or camera settings.
How it works
KeyShot Studio for Solid Edge adds a menu to the Solid Edge interface. Within Solid Edge, you can work on your design, transfer the geometry to KeyShot Studio at any time throughout the process. With LiveLinking support, any changes made in Solid Edge can be transferred to KeyShot Studio instantly.
Initial transfer
After the plugin is installed and your model is open in Solid Edge, select Export to KeyShot from the KeyShot menu. Your exported scene will appear in KeyShot Studio.
LiveLinking
As soon KeyShot Studio is started from Solid Edge through the Export to KeyShot option, the two applications are linked. You may assign materials, set up animations, or set up lighting and camera angles inside KeyShot Studio. In Solid Edge, you may continue to refine your model. When you are satisfied with the changes, select Update KeyShot from the KeyShot menu. All updated parts (geometry/location) will be replaced inside KeyShot Studio, and all materials, animations, etc. will also be maintained. Note: New parts will be added to the scene and may not automatically get painted.
