KeyShot Workflow Integration

Simplify Your Rendering With KeyShot Workflow Integration

KeyShot is a stand-alone 3D rendering and animation application that operates side by side with your 3D modeling application. Rather than putting KeyShot inside the 3D modeling software, we provide a more flexible approach with three levels of integration to import and render your design.

KeyShot Workflow Integration - KeyShot Import

Direct Import

KeyShot supports the widest number of 3D file formats out of any rendering software. With importers for over 20+ file types and versions, you can be sure your 3D data will be imported accurately into KeyShot. Direct import of the major 3D CAD applications and the generic 3D file formats are included with .obj export available in KeyShot Pro.

Plugins

Our plugins extends the functionality between KeyShot and the 3D modeling application. Depending on the application, this higher level of integration makes it possible for the entire geometry along with its structure, color assignments and camera views to be imported and for KeyShot files to be exported without KeyShot being installed.

LiveLinking™

The plugins also allow our LiveLinking technology to establish a link between your 3D modeling software and KeyShot. This keeps the software separate, allowing you to continue working and refining your model, then send all changes over to KeyShot with the click of a button. All without losing any views, materials, textures, or animations already applied.

KeyShot workflow integration with third-party support.

Beyond direct import, plugins, and LiveLinking, many of our partners have taken the steps to build KeyShot integration into their software, extending the functionality within the 3D CAD modeling software. Once the 3D CAD model software is installed, users may immediately export their files to KeyShot without the need to install a plugin. Users can apply materials, continue modeling, and make updates to the geometry with all changes brought over to KeyShot to continue the rendering process. When it comes time to export your final version, this integration will simplify the process needed to export animations from KeyShot to your preferred program.
