Luxion has shipped KeyShot 3, the latest update to its easy-to-use photorealistic renderer
This intuitive photorealistic renderer adds an intriguing new animation system. Now non-animators will be able to create technical animations without using keyframes.
“We decided to develop an animation system that is just as simple to use as KeyShot has been for rendering. In order to achieve this, we built the animation system directly into KeyShot without relying on keyframes,” says Dr. Henrik Wann Jensen, Chief Scientist of Luxion.
KeyShot 3 also features a more streamlined user interface and support for data in a greater range of file formats – most of them native CAD formats, but also including animation data in FBX format.
KeyShot is available now for Windows and Mac OS X, price $995. KeyShot 3’s all new animation capabilities can be added to KeyShot and KeyShot Pro for $500.
