Very intuitive for basic rendering. Controls laid out logically. Easy to assign colors, materials and lighting > > **Cons**: Very complicated when creating or manipulating complex materials, like hair, bristles, etc... Can get overwhelming > > Love it. Anyone can jump right in and create stunning renderings. Whether you are a novice or an expert, keyshot can do it all ----- ### "Production Manager" — 4.0/5 > **Arron** | *30 July 2025* | Maritime | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: it aloud us to create images and edit them for our website products, realativly easy to use and helped bring our 3d designs to life > > **Cons**: did take a little bit to get use to at first, some of the textures didnt work very well almost distorting the image > > over all though i had a good experience with this program and has opened up jobs for us with been able to render finished products ----- ### "Great Rendering Software but Beware the Beware of Licensing Changes" — 5.0/5 > **Jean-Louis** | *14 October 2024* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use. Fast rendering engine that works great even on a laptop. Ability to schedule renders to run overnight is awesome. Huge assortment of material libraries available. > > **Cons**: They have changed their licensing model to a subscription model and the perpetual license I purchased several years ago will no longer be supported. This seems very dishonest since when I purchased it it was with the explicit understanding that it was a one-time purchase with no annual fees. Buyer beware\! > > Very positive. It works great and would love to continue using it were it not for the licensing changes they implemented this year. ----- ### "A love story in completed" — 5.0/5 > **Mehmet Recep** | *15 September 2022* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1- Easy to use, even for the beginner. 2- Easy to learn. I'm also an educator. My students are very happy to learn quickly and start to create in a couple of hours. 3- Great interface. You don't have to worry about changing assets every single time. It's stable. You can use the Keyshot on many different computers and you will be familiar with the interface. 4- Environment (light painting) is very efficient. 5- GPU, Performance mode, and Denoise modes are perfect for variable hardware. 6- You can get "almost" perfect renders even with GPU rendering. You will be devoid of some render elements but it's %60 fast render more than CPU render. It's a wonderful option, especially for multi-scene projects. 7- PSD file export option with materials. 8- Compatible with 3D plugins. Especially you can import scenes with the camera from the 3Ds Max. This really works for me. 9- Thanks for the animated Environment feature. It's really cool. > > **Cons**: Ah Luxion... You are always missing "being impeccable" with tiny steps. You are always focusing on the wrong development with every single update and versions. Here is my list of my least; 1- You stop in accordance with compatibility with the HDR Light Studio plug-in. 2- The environment still works efficiently but it could be more than it is. You have to develop a light painting feature and add new pin types. (That's what the HDR Light Studio was doing good). 3- We need new light sources. Studio rendering is good but still, it's hard to create "simple" interior scenes. 4- Edit normals, UV mapping features could be much more useful. I especially hate UV mapping. It's too complicated and limited. 5- We need a feature like "Turbo Smooth" in 3Ds Max. Edit normals features are weak. 6- I knot this is a little bit fantastic and beyond the purpose of the Keyshot but the Probolean feature will make everything really different for the other users. (Think about that). > > If your main job focuses on studio rendering, you can't find it better than the Keyshot. It's fast, the Luxion team working hard, easy to use and the results are awesome. But that's all\! If you are looking for simple or complex interior scenes, Keyshot is not for you. ----- ### "Drag and drop easy to use rendering package" — 5.0/5 > **Ash** | *12 September 2023* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The product is mostly drag and drop, some alternatives such as V Ray are much more obtuse with a greater learning curve. KeyShot can be set up quickly and is easy to get a professional looking render out. > > **Cons**: The price is quite high and some of the useful features such as HDRI editing are now locked behind the pro license. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/173819/keyshot?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/173819/keyshot) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
