Keyshot 9 PRO

The Best 3D Rendering Software to Create Amazing Visuals

KeyShot is everything you need to create amazing visuals fast. The real-time 3D rendering workflow displays results instantly and reduces the time it takes to create realistic product shots. 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.

KeyShot 9 OverviewKeyShot 9 includes features and updates in four specific areas - import and integration, workflow and setup, materials and textures, and image and output. Within these four areas, KeyShot 9 introduces features and improvements that focus on helping you realize your ideas faster and unlock your creative freedom. RealCloth adds unmatched detail with all-new weave pattern control.
You'll have more custom material control with the new Fuzz shader, generic (BRDF) material, contour procedural texture and curve control for material, part and camera animations. The new 3D model library brings curated, ready-made models for you to add context to scenes quickly, while a new streamlined import allows users to start creating sooner.
The new Tools menu makes Geometry, Material, and Camera tools more accessible and adds Material Import for VStitcher, Substance Painter, Vizoo, and X-Rite AxF to expand the import pipeline. With the new Web Configurator, you can turn the product configurators created with KeyShot Pro into interactive, web-enabled product option experiences for design review or customer point of sale. And completely new for KeyShot 9, representing a new era in rendering capability, is GPU Mode for GPU-accelerated ray tracing and Denoise for smoother render results faster.
All of these features are implemented with workflow in mind, and unique to KeyShot, whether it is import, material, and lighting setup with a simple drag-and-drop or enabling rendering capabilities and tools with one-click accessibility. KeyShot 9 brings all of this together to truly deliver unbound creative capability.
GPU ModeKeyShot 9 introduces the ability to harness the full GPU-accelerated ray tracing power of NVIDIA RTX with OptiX. Available for both real-time rendering and local render output, KeyShot’s GPU Mode allows GPU resources to be accessed with one-click to take advantage of multi-GPU performance scaling and the dedicated ray tracing acceleration hardware in NVIDIA RTX-capable GPUs. You may toggle between GPU and CPU as needed. GPU ray tracing in KeyShot 9 supports the NVIDIA Maxwell microarchitecture found in the Quadro M6000 or GTX 980 and above with Quadro RTX 4000 or higher recommended. View system requirements here.

DenoiseDenoise is a one-click Image Style option that works in both CPU and GPU mode to eliminate noise in the Real-Time View and render output. This deep learning denoiser reduces the time it takes to resolve a rendered image by interpolating and refining the image to achieve smooth results in less time. You can learn more about Denoise here.

RealClothTMRealCloth provides you with a completely new way to create and control woven materials, providing a level of visual fidelity that goes beyond the capabilities of any scanned materials definitions. The material type provides intricate control of the weave pattern (KeyShot Pro) and the ability to easily add flyaway fibers. New RealCloth materials have been added to the Library as well. You can learn more about RealCloth here.

Web ConfiguratorKeyShot 9 now offers you the ability to create interactive, browser-based product configurators. A configurator is created in KeyShot using the specified models, materials, and Studios variations. You then chooses the Web Configurator output option to generate the content files that can be zipped and shared privately or hosted online for anyone around the world to view. You can learn more about KeyShotWeb here.

3D Model LibraryKeyShot 9 introduces a new Model Library that allows 3D models with complete materials and textures to be added to a scene. All 3D models are easily accessed on KeyShot Cloud and may be searched, filtered, and added to any scene with a simple drag-and-drop. Models may then moved, duplicated, or have their appearance changed as needed. You can learn more Models here.

Additional Featureshere's a lot more where this came from like the new, streamlined import dialogue with the ability to Enable quick import and Resolve Missing Resources. Many more material options are available through the new Generic material based on Disney BRDF, a new Contour Procedural Texture, and the new Fuzz geometry shader that allows you to add randomized, hair-like growth from the surface of any material. Custom Motion Ease adds finer animation control over part and camera animations with Curve Control also available for material property animations. You'll also find many more user interface improvements, including a new Tools menu that now consolidates Geometry, Material, and Camera tools and includes the new Material Import tool for .u3m, .sp, .axf and other material format import. Integrations include a new Browzwear VStitcher plugin for apparel and garment rendering, Substance Painter texture import as well as Measured Material support for X-Rite AxF 1.6.
