Keyshot for Concept Artists

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a freelancer, Keyshot is used in order to quickly see texture and render 3D models for the purpose of visual direction and concept art. It's a simple interface and ability to make quick texture and light changes on 3D models makes for a faster pipeline when working on a project.

Pros

  • Keyshot has a simple and intuitive interface that makes it easy to use for quick renderings.
  • Through Keyshot's viewport, you can see real-time changes when replacing or adding textures to a 3D model.
  • The new Keyshot 8 comes with volumetric features such as fog that can add depth to your image making process without having to manually do it later in another program.

Cons

  • 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.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.
