KeyShot - How it Works

The KeyShot workflow is very intuitive and more importantly straight forward. It primarily involves these 6 steps.

Step 1: Import your 3D model
	Use your BIP files, Rhinoceros, SketchUp, SolidWorks (PC only), Pro/ENGINEER (PC only, via plugin), IGES, STEP, OBJ, 3ds, Collada, and FBX data directly

Step 2: Paint your model
	Use any of the scientifically accurate materials from the material library by simply copying and pasting them onto the model. You will instantly see what your design will look like, with the given material, color, and finish, under the current lighting conditions.

Step 3: Choose your lighting
	Simply select an environment image (HDRI). As soon as you change the lighting environment you will notice the effect the real world lighting captured in those environments has on materials, colors and finishes.

Step 4: Select a background image
	Use any of the scientifically accurate materials from the material library by simply copying and pasting them onto the model. You will instantly see what your design will look like, with the given material, color, and finish, under the current lighting conditions.

Step 5: Adjust your camera
	Change angle, distance, twist, focal length - just like a real camera.

Step 6: Enjoy the perfect picture
	It is all happening in realtime - in front of your eyes. You are done!
