What do you like best about KeyShot?

Keyshot is the absolute best when it comes to rendering - be it an image or a video, you will be able to perform a fast rendering of a high level, professional result. Its learning curve is really quick, as the software has been designed in an intuitive way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyShot?

Keyshot is sometime slow to render, depending on the processor you may have. Usage of lower level resolution as a first attempt is advised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:

You should absolutely consider Keyshot if no one in your team is a skilled graphic designer. This software in fact allows an immediate use even for beginners, who will be able to produce high quality renderings in as little as 30 minutes. Advanced functions however do not lack, so even in the case you want to dig more in the software to take more out of it, you can do it to achieve even greater result. 100% recommended for everyone not looking to invest a lot of time in learning a new software but want to see immediate, high quality results straight away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?

When it comes to rendering without a professional experience, Keyshot is the king: this is the one that you will be able to use even without a proper tutorial. You can start to have some rendering in matter of minutes, and they will be detailed enough to appear very professional! The major benefit in my opinion is that even if you are not a graphic designer, you can use this software and learn it in a very little time and then produce high quality rendering images or even videos.

What do you like best about KeyShot?

This software is significantly more affordable than some of it's competitors, and SO much easier to use! It has a ton of helpful presets which make putting together a quick render a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyShot?

Overall it's great for basic rendering. The presets can be overwhelming at first but are very beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KeyShot:

Great basic rendering software with loads of presets built-in and online. Perfect for those that want to render straight out of Zbrush. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KeyShot solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keyshot is a big help when I need to make a quick, high quality render of a painted 3D model. It integrates with Zbrush, so I don't even need to add UVs to my models or export texture maps - the polypainting moves right over seamlessly. There are a lot more steps involved with programs such as Maya. If you're making an animation-ready model, Maya is probably where your files will be centrally located, but for 3D printed purposes Keyshot has everything I need for a fast mock-up.
