KeyShot is a means of interactive visualization of 3D scenes and models. As the developers say it - a digital camera for 3D models, as a result you get in real time. Given that the use of global illumination and materials based on real physical parameters, the resulting images are photographic quality. The program can operate as a standalone application or as a supplement (plugin), with the following formats: OBJ, Autodesk Alias ??Maya, FBX, 3DS, Rhinoceros Plugin, SketchUp, SolidWorks, Pro / ENGINEER Plugin, ALIAS, JT.

KeyShot is the key to amazing shots ... in seconds. Communicating early concepts. Trying to make design decisions. Creating marketing and sales images. No matter what you are trying to do, KeyShot breaks down the complexity barriers of creating photo-realistic images from 3D models. Faster, easier, and more amazing than ever before. KeyShot 2 is an all new application built on Luxion's production proven realtime raytracing and global illumination technology. We have taken the world's fastest rendering engine, and made it even faster.

Supported features realtime-reytreysinga:
* Interactive wysiwyg raytracing
* Photon mapping
* HDRI lighting
* Global illumination
* Ambient occlusion
* Final gathering
* Environment shadow casting
* Self and inter-object shadow casting
* Environment reflections
* Refraction
* Caustics
* Inter-object light bouncing

Highlights of the new release include:
Significantly faster realtime interaction. A new, rapid, high-quality shadowing algorithm takes full advantage of multi-core CPUs, delivering smooth, noise-free results instantly
Optimized workflow through new interface
Drag and drop capabilities of materials, textures and envrionments
A scene tree that makes interaction with mulitple parts and models a snap
A new innovative labeling system allows any number of labels to be added to any material
New import pipeline supports many more file formats on both PC and Mac

New rendering capabilities

The new rendering features in KeyShot 2 allow users to work faster, and obtain even more accurate results than ever before.

Key capabilities include:
• Scene tree for better scene management
• Light emitting materials with intensity and color control
• Merging of previously saved scenes with current scenes
• Unlimited label placement on any material
• Ground global illumination without a physical plane

Performance improvements

KeyShot 2 has been further optimized to run even faster on PC and Mac without the need for special graphic cards. Performance improvements reach up to 50% compared to KeyShot and
HyperShot.

Performance improvements include:
• Loading of 3D data
• Calculation of detailed and ground shadows
• Image resolution in realtime
• Offline render times
