KeyShot vs. Microsoft Silverlight

Keyshot is great for quick renders and its ability to make changes for a fast production pipeline. Since I primarily use it for concept art and making environments, it is not the best when handling larger scenes as it will take a toll on the CPU.

We use it for almost all kinds of applications. It's not important if the app is small or big. It's good for DB connections, SOA architecture, office files transformations. The good thing is that it's client side, so we don't have to waste our server resources but can use the client's computer for business and visualization layer.

• Keyshot is very expensive compared to other software that could potentially do the same thing at a fraction of the cost.
• Keyshot does not rely on GPU rendering so relying on a fast CPU is key.
• You are not able to modify geometry like a standard 3D software.

Incentivized

• No support for the popular H.264 video codec
• Another effort to promote proprietary technology rather than open standards
• Silverlight is a browser-only solution

Honestly, I've only needed customer support a couple of times. One time was a question about licensing which their customer service explained very well and offered just the help I was looking for

The rendering capability with SOLIDWORKS PhotoWorks is pretty good but takes time to learn and is a little cumbersome compared to KeyShot. KeyShot offers a SOLIDWORKS plug-in that works great allowing the user to export models directly from SOLIDWORKS to KeyShot.

Microsoft Silverlight allows more adaptability and it integrates well with our products across the company. Adobe Flash crashes or doesn't work with our shipping campus.

• Faster approval times from client
• Impressive website work vs editing photos

• Negative that the application is no longer supported
• Impact to delivery of new features
• Customer dissatisfaction
