Glad you saw my message on Twitter - I think it will be easier to go over this in detail on here. Do you have any sample files that I could play around with that would be Keyshot ready? I'd love to test this functionality on my computer and see if it is specific to the app, file, or computer. Feel free to post the files here or email me/send a box link to james....@autodesk.com and I can take a deeper peek.

Regarding this however, I don't know if I would call this model "simple". It took some time to import, and about 5 minutes to even open the file. There is a lot of geometry on screen and I'm imagining the save/export/upload/open process into Keyshot probably will stall a bit as well. It's about a 100 mb file. How long was it taking you to push the file into Keyshot? Also, if you were to manually export the file and upload into Keyshot how long does this take (mostly concerned about the opening in Keyshot phase). This will help me narrow it down a bit.

That's my initial thoughts too based on what you said. It looks like this app is made by Keyshot however. Do you mind reaching out their support team as well while I dig on our side (sup...@luxion.com). I'd be curious to see what's going on.

Unfortunately, getting support for Keyshot is like pulling teeth. I really like the product, but the support is poor. I've seriously been trying to get an answer to a question for over a month. I've asked the question via email, support ticket, and the forum, still no response. I've even tried posting the question on some social media sites, hoping that might spark a response, so far, nothing.

The Keyshot LiveLink plug-in isn't very good either, so I rarely use it. Without any control over tessellation or orientation, it's not very good. The plug-in for Rhino is a nice implementation, but for Fusion 360, not so much. I find it easier to export to a .STEP or .SAT. I've asked questions about some issues with the Fusion 360 plug-in, and never received any answer.

I case you didn't know, you can still have the basic functionality of "live-linking" even when exporting files. The key is to maintain names, of the exported files, along with the names of bodies and/or components. As long as the names are being maintained, you can make changes to the Fusion file, re-export it (with the same name and replace the previous file), then import it back into Keyshot and make sure to select "Update Geometry". Keyshot will update the file and material assignments will remain. It's really the same workflow that the plug-in provides.

Currently, it can't. If you wanted Keyshot to open native Fusion 360 files (.f3d or .f3z), I'm pretty sure it would need to start with Luxion/Keyshot wanting to add that functionality. If there are enough users asking for native support, Keyshot would be interested in looking into the possibility. Without Keyshot being the driving force or without a large number of users asking for it, it won't happen. I'd suggest inquiring about this on the Keyshot forum.

Perhaps I'm not understanding your question. How could Autodesk implement something in another company's software product? If you want Keyshot to natively accept a certain file type, Luxion is going to be the one that does it. Autodesk may need to assist, but how could they add functionality to a software product that isn't theirs?

Nope, I'm not a software company, I'm not even an Autodesk employee, I'm simply a Fusion 360 user expressing my opinion, in this forum. My opinion is still that Luxion should be the one to drive that train, since they are the ones in charge writing their software. You certainly don't need to agree with me, it's only one persons opinion. I just don't see it happening the way you think it should.

Of these two "Luxion" has an advantage in that it allows for the importation of models direct from Inventor as ".ipt" or ".iam" files. Unfortunately this is not perfect and sometimes assemblies are not brought in as they should be (please bear in mind that this may be as a result of my limited experience with these programs).

Both programs support IGES files (and they work well) of individual parts or assemblies. "Bunkspeed" accepts them straight from Inventor. "Luxion" requires that the Inventor user sets up the "save copy as" option to have a Solid Face Type of "Nurbs," not the default setting of "Analytic."

Unless materials have been pre-selected in your model/assembly, and you have ticked the required box to bring them into the rendering program, all models appear grey. It's a simple matter to drag and drop materials from the palette onto the model/assembly to put things right.

Once you have imported your model into either program you may find that it is facing the wrong way. It took me a little while to figure out how to change this, but these controls are found in the "scene settings." Once the model is selected by clicking on it in the drop down menu, it is possible to adjust it to your requirements (see the "Luxion" screen grab image).

Lighting is not controlled as in Inventor studio, rather it is a function of the "Gamma" and "Brightness" settings in the scene set up. What you get is greatly affected by your initial choice of scene and adjustments to it's height, rotation, etc. If a "backplate" is selected this will also affect lighting.

Both programs have somewhat limited metals in their palettes, however new materials are easily created from existing ones. So far I have not failed to find a colour or texture in the palette that was not near enough to what I wanted.

Of the two I prefer "Luxion KeyShot" to "Bunkspeed Shot." I feel it is much more intuitive to use. This is purely a personal choice and you may well have different tastes. If you try them please let me know how you get on, or if there are any others that I should have a look at ?

I only bring this to your attention as the site contains some of the best that I have been able to achieve with Studio. Apart from using custom "backdrops," which I have also done (none of these feature on the site), I think I have probably reached the limit of what I can achieve with Studio. Animation is an option but the images are always of necessity at a lower resolution.

Hi Hopinc, we use keyshot at work, shot and keyshot were once called hypershot then that split into 2 companys and now they compete with each other, from what I have seen keyshot is by far the best if not the best on the market at the moment, nice to see someone on here using it.

It occured to me that one might be a knock-off of the other, but now you have highlighted the history I can see why they are so much alike. It is also obvious why Bunkspeed has used two different names to describe the same product - "HyperShot" and now just plain "Shot." Isn't insight a wonderful thing .

I will show you some renders on my return to work, we design bus and train seats, in the early stage of the design we use Alias to develope the concept models then use Inventor to design the seats then we import that model into keyshot to render.

I don't know if you saw it or not, but on Thursday at 5:00 pm UK time (11:00 PDT) KeyShot ran a webinar when their own Thomas Teger gave a demonstration of using lighting planes to illuminate models. It was most interesting and is available for download as a hi-res movie from KeyShot's web site if you would like to view it.

Inventor Studio users will find it a most peculiar way of lighting models - using emmissive planes for illumination, instead of placing lights as per a photographic studio. It does work well though, and has the advantage of being able to place an image (and manipulate it) of your choice on the plane so it is reflected onto the model.

Luxion's internally developed rendering technology continues to bring speed and accurate lighting to renderings, animations and interactive visuals for 3D professionals across many industries. We are focused on the features and updates that users have requested over the last few releases of KeyShot with new user interface updates, more render options and new presets, materials and lighting that aid in working with 3D data throughout the entire product design process. With this release, we are proud to announce greatly improved rendering speed and enhancements that make KeyShot the fastest, most accurate 3D rendering an animation system available, along with a new 'Live Linking' capability that allows SolidWorks users to maintain all part and feature updates made to their models without having to redo any of their work inside KeyShot.

Included in the new release of KeyShot 4 is an updated, cleaner user interface with the ability to dock library, project and timeline in a single-window mode. Rendering features include enhancements to material editing with updated materials, PANTONE and RAL color libraries, all new material types that turn any geometry into a local light source, and enhancements to translucent materials, material templates, import, animation and KeyShotVR workflows. With this, render speeds have been optimized to provide faster real-time rendering performance and improved render output. For a complete list on new features email in...@luxion.com.

Luxion has developed an ability to connect SolidWorks and KeyShot in a live session. With this enhancement, SolidWorks 2013 users will be able to make a change to the design at any level and send it directly to a running session of KeyShot. The scene inside KeyShot will update automatically and either replace the existing design or add the new design iteration to the existing scene. Live Linking will be included as part of the SolidWorks plugin for KeyShot and can be accessed from the SolidWorks toolbar area with a single click that transfers the updated SolidWorks model to the KeyShot session. This allows KeyShot to become a truly integrated part of the entire product development process from early concept design through the prototyping phase to final design presentation and the creation of sales and marketing collateral.
