Together these features represent capabilities that streamline the workflow, producing more flow and less work, while eliminating the dependence on switching between apps to create the detail and appearance needed. K eyShot 8 adds advanced technology and features such as displacement mapping, materials with embedded flakes and bubbles, volumetric materials including volume caustics, liquid interfaces, interactive cutaways, interactive image color and intensity curve adjustments, material ways for advanced product configurations, and much more. And, the KeyShot Viewer with KeyShot Configurator and glTF/GLB output offer new collaboration capabilities.Tustin, California, October 2nd, 2018 – Luxion, a leading developer of advanced rendering and lighting technology and maker of KeyShot®, the first real-time ray-tracing and global illumination program for 3D rendering and animation, today announced the release of KeyShot 8, introducing new tools and enhancements that provide the advanced features and flexibility 3D professionals need to take their visuals while delivering on KeyShot market leading speed and quality. New geometry shaders add displacement, bubble, and flake capabilities.

Scattering Medium creates new options for scene and material appearance. Cutaway is a new simplified approach to creating cutaway views. Image styles allow users to add and adjust appearances in real-time within KeyShot. Within these five areas KeyShot 8 has five primary features along with other updates that hold to the focus on maintaining a workflow within KeyShot. KeyShot 8 includes features and updates specific to five areas – materials and volume, lighting and optics, advanced geometry, image and output, and collaboration.

KeyShot 8 adds advanced technology and features such as displacement mapping, materials with embedded flakes and bubbles, volumetric materials including volume caustics, liquid interfaces, interactive cutaways, interactive image color and intensity curve adjustments, material ways for advanced product configurations, and much more. From scientifically accurate material and environment presets to advanced material editing and animation, creating interactive product visuals or sales and marketing imagery has never been easier. The real-time 3D rendering workflow displays results instantly and reduces the time it takes to create realistic product shots.


KeyShot is everything you need to create amazing visuals fast.
