Top Rated KeyShot Alternatives
Super easy to set up from any CAD modelling system, great material and environment selection and easy to apply. You can go from model to photorealistic rendering or animation in minutes. I really like the cutaway function which makes it easy to show a section of a model in order to visualise internal parts, etc. The best part of it is that you can get high-quality results in seconds, I think most users will only need to spend little time but if you want to get even more realistic product shots, say for marketing purposes, you can spend a bit more time so that the rendering engine fully works out all the details in shadows and reflections. As opposed to some rendering software that I have used in the past where you need to wait for renders to fully complete before you see any results. KeyShot makes it a bit analogous to waiting for a cake to bake in the oven, you can always pull the cake out as soon as the result is acceptable to you :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's very little not to like about it. I guess that it could be made even better by adding more tutorials and examples for beginners to learn the tips and tricks of KeyShot. Also could e improved by having more varied demo scenes of objects/scenarios of different scales. The most difficult bt about KeyShot however is the price, the cost is a little bit much for the amount of use that we would get out of it, especially being less and less orientated in physical design. A pay-as-you-go license model could be a better solution for our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's quite a good amount of assets + Hdri's Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can crash randomly after assigning materials to some complexe shapes (Already happenned on my Richard Mille Watch with 1.8mm teeth gear) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
easy to get on, can apply with several materials with just dragging into the model Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
need to adjust the light and environment to fit different objects, interior design and product design require quite different skills and setting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The pros are:
1) Easy to use (begginer to professional)
2) superb compatibilty with other CAD softwares
3) Superb texture modifications and add-on
4) Lots of option while prepared for rendering
And many more.
my personal opinion specifically i use a low level laptop and it works perfectly. (though a lillte time required to render due to hardware specs.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not applicable for now, but i think there should be a student license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have used multiple rendering software including blender and 3ds max but the flexibility, internal materials and ease of use of keyshot is unmatched to other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Keyshot GPU feature has been lagging a lot. It could be made faster. Real time integration could be developed between keyshot and other modeling software. Cloud rendering should be made cheaper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It integrates seamlessly with Creo Parametric, my primary CAD software, which makes the creation process even more efficient. I'm impressed with how KeyShot can take a 3D model from Creo Parametric and transform it into a realistic still image or animation in just a few steps.
The interface is incredibly user-friendly with support for drag-and-drop operations to help you quickly create stunning visuals. Additionally, the library of materials and lighting options allows me to customize my renders even further. With its powerful features and ease of use, KeyShot is definitely worth investing in.

While it has impressive features and tools, some of my team members find them too complex or difficult to use if they are not familiar with similar software programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is my favorite render engine for jewelry and other products rendering, And the best thing is its own accurate shader inbuild. You can save time on rendering compared to others software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like overall I didn't find anything in it to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I was able to start making my products look professional and good to go in minutes without a lot of prior knowledge of 3D rendering. I think it's a great product for people who have a grasp of 3D modeling and want to make their products look good in a short amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface is really nice, but it does take some time to learn how to use it properly so if you are just starting out with this software. It takes long time for rendering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Keyshot does an excellent job making 3d models look real by mimicking the effects of real light. The animation features are powerful and easy to use. Compared to built in rendering tools, nothing else comes close. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Needs a very fast computer like a Threadripper to get the full potential out of keyshot. Otherwise the software is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One of the biggest advantages of keyshot is that it has a lot of good drag and drop lighting and materials which makes the process quick if someone know just to model they can quickly make their artworks presentable using keyshot without any prior knowledge of lighting and texturing.

There are not much dislikes i have but one is the animation workflow, they should improve their animation tools, so we don't have to move back and forth between software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
