KeyShot: 3D rendering and animation application

KeyShot is a stand-alone, real-time ray tracing and global illumination program used to create 3D renderings, animations and interactive visuals. With its CPU-based architecture, photorealistic real-time rendering can be achieved on both Mac and PC, even on laptops, without the need for high-end graphics cards.

New features and improvements

Screenshots

Expanded file formats available in Preferences > General > Screenshot and in the system dialog that shows when "Ask where to save each screenshot" is enabled.
New option in the Render menu for "Copy Screenshot to Clipboard" with the ability to assign a custom hotkey via Preferences.

HotKeys

Duplicate with Ctrl/Cmd+W, select part(s) in the Real-time View or the Scene-Tree and press Ctrl/Cmd+W will create a copy of the part(s) in the same group/model as the original.

Geometry Shaders

Flakes (Pro) - A new option for Keep Original to embed flakes within its parent surface material means you are no longer required to duplicate geometry to achieve this result.

KeyShot Cloud

Tag search - it is now possible to search by tags in KeyShot Cloud. Use the # before the tag in the search bar. If you want to find a specific Resource-ID you now have to use the $ before the ID (this was previously #).
