KeyShot

Name: KeyShot
Price: 108.25 USD

The industry standard for 3D product visualization.

KeyShot is a real-time 3D rendering and product visualization platform that turns CAD data into product imagery, animations, exploded views, and interactive 3D assets. It addresses slow rendering workflows by preserving CAD geometry on import and applying physically correct materials and lighting, giving design, engineering, and marketing teams a shared source of truth from early concept through final marketing output.

KeyShot Studio includes real-time ray tracing preview, a drag-and-drop material system, Material Graph with procedural texturing, support for 34+ CAD formats with native plugins, light layers, one-click animation, and physically accurate caustics and global illumination. AI features include local AI shots (Restyle, Background, Imagine, and Edit modes) and AI denoise. It exports to GLB, USD, and interactive 3D for e-commerce and AR. Related products include KeyShot Studio VR, KeyShot Studio Web, KeyShot DAM, Cloud Rendering, and Network Rendering, with a Siemens NX plugin offering LiveLinking.

KeyShot Studio is packaged in Professional, Business, and Enterprise plans, all sharing the same feature set but differing in support level, seat management, and add-on inclusions; seats are individual and transferable on higher tiers. A 14-day free trial with full features is available. Add-ons include Studio VR, the NX plugin, Cloud Rendering (usage-based via prepaid credits), and Network Rendering (tiered by core count). An education edition is offered for eligible students and faculty, with lab packs for classrooms.
