![]() Henrik Wann Jensen who introduced the concept of photon mapping to the render world. The render engine is developed in-house by Luxion, completely CPU-based, headed by Dr. All the Microsoft Surface visuals, Fossil watches, Skullcandy… the gallery is chock full of examples. Professional designers, engineers, photographers and cg artist use KeyShot. Software doesn’t denigrate talent, it enhances it. Computer graphics, photography, creating incredible visuals… anyone who is trained in those disciplines has incredible value. Hey Oldghost, you’ve got skills and that matters. ![]() Many dropped out when they had to take a class using Mental Ray because they thought it was stupid and pointless without understanding what the extra freedom would allow them to do. And as cekuhnen said, it made for a lot of students who couldn’t render or create a material to save their lives. I’m in complete agreement, and I’ve only used KS or Bunkspeed a couple of times for automotive vis. Some still would like something simpler but thats ok as well.īut what blows me is that this software is 1k and can only do IBL rendering … but sometimes time is moneyĪnd that seems to work in the studios well. Scene composition camera angle etc were just terrible.Īt my current job we use Cycles and the students love it because of the render speed and flexibility. I also saw a lot of trash Keyshot renderings done by the students simply because they trusted the softwareĪnd were why too much impressed with how fast the software works and did not see that their materials Understand rendering and build up some digital photography skills - what digital rendering is for product design. This does not mean that KS cannot produce quality renderings - it actually really can, but you are limitedĪt my last job they all bitched about Blender and went to KS and they did not realize that the goal ofīlender was teaching them to learn the trade of rendering while KS simply does not do that. Products like Keyshot is why I think many product design students today suck at rendering.Īll they want is to learn this easy and fast product while not realizing that the toolset is so limiting that The actual rendering then is much slower. The preview mode is speedy because it is an over simplified approach. you dont do renderings a lot and need a quick and easy tool to use from time to time.where there is not much funding for professional grade renderings.where quick renderings are ok for presentation and material/design discussion.KeyShot is the preferred render tool for product designers etc that do: All he wants to know is the price of “…those little pictures”. The man buying it cares not one wit how it was made. So when I see anything capable of taking the graphic artist out of the loop I take notice. Now maybe things have changed in the intervening years but I doubt it. ![]() Something a young Graphic Artist starting out might want in their pipeline of clients. And, I’m speaking of businesses with say five hundred or less employees here. Business types aren’t usually art lovers nor known for appreciating the effort that goes into it. You might have been there done that for all I know.Īnd, yes the Mat Services employed artist. This is just a general thought m9105826 and not directed at you personally by the way. “Hell, don’t we have a Mat Service for those little pictures, Agnus?” He wouldn’t have known a van Gogh from dogs playing poker and this is what you were approaching. And, you could have been lugging a killer portfolio but if they already had a damn Mat Service in their mind it was a done deal. Many years ago if you were attempting to break into commercial art you were up against the Mat Services. You or your business wouldn’t even be in the pipeline. But, what if a draftsmen already on the payroll could take it from CAD to a finished brochure. We on this forum would be the ‘Arty Types’ in this pipeline. For the business mind gives not a rats ass about art but simply the cost as you might well know. But that’s the allure of Keyshot is that you can get something that looks nice just by dragging and dropping a couple of materials from the panel onto your objects and importing an HDR map.Īctually, m9105826, that is part of what was scary to me.
