KeyShot comes with free plugins for most 3D modeling software. For KeyShot Animation, motion blur is now available for cameras as well, in both the real-time and offline rendering modes. The Anisotropic Material Type now allows adjustment of the Roughness parameter in both X and Y position. The Toon Material Type now allows greater control over outline and part contours for improved production of visuals for technical documentation. Along with this capability, the HDRI Editor user interface has been updated for a smoother workflow and users will see significant speed improvements in both navigation and generation of HDR images.Īdditional updates include the addition of IES light, point light and area light thumbnails in the KeyShot Library to better display brightness and color of lighting presets.
