KeyShot vs. Procreate

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.

Procreate is well-suited for any illustrator, whether they're a beginner or an expert. It offers a vast range of features that will allow anyone with an artistic inclination to start creating right away. It's also appropriate for budding designers, artists, and animators. While the animation options offered aren't super premium, it is a good place to start learning about animating in layers, e.g., in Photoshop. Procreate isn't suitable for people who want to illustrate vector-based images. The app currently only supports raster images that can't be scaled up.

• Super easy to learn.
• Renderings have amazing realism.
• Ability to share license across multiple PCs.

• 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.

• More animation support
• Vector Illustrations
• Cross Platform Functionality

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.

Procreate is the easiest to understand out of all this software. I use it on my iPad, and I find that drawing with the Apple Pencil straight on Procreate is intuitive and simple, unlike using the complicated pen tool on Adobe Illustrator. As I've mentioned earlier, Procreate is a great app for beginners, whereas both Illustrator and Photoshop have steep learning curves. If you want to dive into designing right away, Procreate is your best option!
