Course Overview
KeyShot Training: Essentials and More
KeyShot is a real time rendering app making animation easy with a wide range of support for 3D file format on both Mac as well as PC. Some of the benefits of KeyShot Training is the real time speed, easy to use, CPU powered, accurate materials, efficient workflow and advanced lighting. KeyShot is real time rendering at its very core and is not an afterthought. It brings everything to life. From material and lighting to cameras and animation, see everything instantly as you work.
Another important point to remember is to focus on design, not software. This is an extremely easy to use software whereby you can achieve photographic effects through a simple, workflow based interface. For the more advanced users, there are more progressive capabilities. Another important factor to consider is to create visuals faster. KeyShot works on Windows and Mac using 100 percent of available Control Processing Unit power.
A special graphics card is not needed and all CPU power scales are matched linearly for superlative performance. KeyShot materials are associated with transcending physical appearance that provides the scientific precision and accuracy to create properties for top quality visuals. KeyShot training ensures that one can use a preset, an exclusive partner material or come up with your own. KeyShot also provides the speed for visualisation of products with advanced lighting capabilities creating more accurate lighting for simple shots as well as complex interior lighting.
You also need to present your ideas sooner. It integrates through the entire product development process and has the widest 3D file format as well as LiveLinking technology for fluid workflow from conceptual stages to the final product. From images and animations to online responsive web as well as mobile content, you can get the highest tools for your visualisation preferences. Another unique benefit of it is real time ray racing with progressive global illumination and adaptive material sampling as well as focused caustics and dynamic lighting.
Advanced materials can be created using KeyShot mode based editor for layering and animating material as well as texture. Deeper functionality can be had through the Python scripting console for unleashing the power of KeyShot. You also need to select and focus computer power for rendering of small scenes and observe real time results. Render passes using post processing control and store all your scenes prepared through the day and processing of the entire batch when ready. You also need to export scenes to STL or capture colour or texture, the KeyShot training offers print integration making the file ready for 3D printing. Scenes can be exported to STL or color or texture can be captured by ZPR output ensuring that the file is ready for 3D printing. The patented animation system can be used for creating parts and camera animations through real time set up and playback of animation. Camera path animations can be created through selection of existing views or dynamically created within the real time path. First person rotation animations can be created using the click of the camera as the rotation pivot.
You can also animate between two colours, across a complete range or bring out a transition in the opacity of a material over a specific duration of time. Zoom camera animation permits dynamic change in the field of view of the camera for dramatic and life size animations. Depth of field animation permits dynamic change in the camera’s focus distance and F-stop values. Camera switch events can also be set up in a single scene for switching between multiple and diverse animations. Camera switch events can be set up in a single scene to switch between numerous camera animations. The real time motion blur can also be created with quick settings for delivering unlimited realism while showcasing moving parts.
Another key is to set up interactive visuals whereby you create web ready, touch enable visuals from the KeyShot scene through unique feature arrays. KeyShotVR is perfect for the 360 degree spherical experience and there is touch gesture control across mobile, tablet or larger touchscreen displays. Adding to six different KeyShotVR types are spherical, turntable, animated or custom KeyShot VRs stepwise.
When the KeyShotVR is embedded directly, it sizes correctly with the browser width regardless of which device it is. While zooming in to the KeyShotVR, image quality is preserved to ensure details are captured well. KeyShot VR uses the camera as a pivot for obtaining first person view of the scene. iBooks support is another such benefit with advanced iBook widget output to embed touch enabled product experiences.

What are the requirements/pre-requisites?
KeyShot simple user interface is minimal and powerful with choices for advanced visualisation and no clutter for impeding the workflow. Speed within KeyShot cannot be compared whether the small laptop or networked server with multiple CPUs, KeyShot will use cores available.
KeyShot animation is a streamlined process which enables people to create fluid product animations with real time updates and playbacks. KeyShot Pro level features deliver advanced capabilities for dealing directly with product development workflow and conceptualisation for complete visual satisfaction. One does not have to be a rendering expert for photo realism images of the 3Dmodels. Importing data into KeyShot and assigning of materials by dropping them, adjusting the lighting and moving the camera ensures this.
KeyShot training also happens in real time. This uses unique rendering technology to ensure changes in material, lighting and camera instantly. This training system is the most precise system for 3D data and is based on Luxion’s internally displaced, physically correct render engine based on scientific research and global illumination.
KeyShot is 100 percent CPU powered and special hardware or graphics cards are not needed. KeyShot uses cores and threats within the computer. As the computer gains more power,, KeyShot becomes faster and is tightly integrated with 3D data. KeyShot is CPU based and imported data stored within the RAM-not the video card allows KeyShot to handle massive large data sets. Restrictions of data set as long as the computer has enough available memory ensures large data handling.
New version of V-Ray 3.0 comes with a brand new image sampler known as Progressive Image Sampler. Rather than creating the image one bucket by another, the complete output is rendered quickly. Users can also greatly mobilise and optimise speed up the rendering of scenes with multiple lights. The option enables the Intel Embree ray caster using single precision rather than default double precision. To get maximal performance, you need to choose the right speed optimisation options.
VRay Clipper Object is a fresh geometric primitive to be used for clipping parts of the scene with the simple plane. This render time effect does not modify the actual scene geometry. Render mask permits users to define which pixels of images can be calculated. Remaining pixels are left intact. Black values in the map define pixels which are not rendered while other pixels and values are rendered. Texture uses screen mapping type permits the user to take full advantages of developments in compositing.
KeyShot does not need special hardware or graphics cards. It takes full advantage of cores and threads within the computer. As the computer becomes powerful, KeyShot becomes more rapid. Performance scales linearly with number of cores and threads in the system. This is what is needed.
A 3 button mouse, any graphics card, minimum 2GB Ram and minimum 2 GB hard disk space, 1024X768 resolution or higher internet connection for activating the product are the general requirements. Microsoft Windows involves Intel Pentium 4 or better or AMD processor, Windows 7,8 or 10 32/64 but or Windows Server 2012 or later Open GL2.x or higher.
For Apple OS X, Mac OS X 10.7 or later, Intel based Mac, Core2Duo higher 3 button mouse includes the magic mouse, and these are the requirements for the KeyShot training on an Apple machine.
