Luxion releases KeyShot 4, the next generation of Luxion’s groundbreaking rendering and animation solution.
Luxion continues to develop their rendering technology to bring speed and improvements to KeyShot, making it an even more integral part of the product development process, from concept all the way through to sales and marketing. This release builds on the integration and accuracy that sets KeyShot apart from other rendering solutions allowing designers, engineer, marketing professionals, CGI artists, and photographers to create stunning renderings, animations and interactive visuals even faster than ever before.
With KeyShot 4, Luxion announces new approaches to features and greatly improved rendering enhancements. A new 'Live Linking' capability lets Creo, SolidWorks and Rhino users keep all changes made to their models without having to redo any of their work inside KeyShot. Luxion introduces a new method for applying physical lights, with the ability to turn any object in the scene into a point, area or IES light source. New import options give users more flexibility when importing 3D geometry and the ability to work with the actual units of their modeling software. Increased color options are available through the inclusion of PANTONE, RAL and custom color libraries to create, store and share color creations.
More material options come with an exclusive partnership with Mold-tech introducing the first accurate representations of Mold-Tech textures. More realism is seen with improved algorithms for subsurface light scattering within Translucent materials. Increased control over the model and environment is provided with the ability to apply rounded edges to sharp corners, multi-select objects in the real-time window and create ground planes.
KeyShot Pro users now have the ability to apply render layers to objects and create Model or View Sets to explore different configurations of product appearances, camera views and environments. Pro users will also experience enhanced HDR editing capability with dynamic environment highlighting and options to tilt and blur HDRI's. The KeyShot user interface now comes with the ability to dock project, library and animation windows. Optionally, models can now be viewed in full stereoscopic 3D on supported 3D monitors, with the use of any stereo-capable graphics card.
