KeyShot
KeyShot, developed by Luxion and now operating under the KeyShot brand, is the widely adopted standard for real-time 3D product visualization. It turns CAD and 3D model data into physically accurate, photorealistic renderings, animations and interactive visuals, letting designers and engineers preview products before physical prototypes exist. Built on rendering research from co-founder Henrik Wann Jensen (an Academy Award winner for subsurface-scattering work), KeyShot is used by tens of thousands of product teams across consumer electronics, automotive, footwear, jewelry and medical devices, and is known for pairing high-end rendering accuracy with an approachable, drag-and-drop workflow.
