KeyShot

1- Easy to use, even for the beginner.
2- Easy to learn. I'm also an educator. My students are very happy to learn quickly and start to create in a couple of hours.
3- Great interface. You don't have to worry about changing assets every single time. It's stable. You can use the Keyshot on many different computers and you will be familiar with the interface.
4- Environment (light painting) is very efficient.
5- GPU, Performance mode, and Denoise modes are perfect for variable hardware.
6- You can get "almost" perfect renders even with GPU rendering. You will be devoid of some render elements but it's %60 fast render more than CPU render. It's a wonderful option, especially for multi-scene projects.
7- PSD file export option with materials.
8- Compatible with 3D plugins. Especially you can import scenes with the camera from the 3Ds Max. This really works for me.
9- Thanks for the animated Environment feature. It's really cool.

Ah Luxion... You are always missing "being impeccable" with tiny steps. You are always focusing on the wrong development with every single update and versions.

Here is my list of my least;
1- You stop in accordance with compatibility with the HDR Light Studio plug-in.
2- The environment still works efficiently but it could be more than it is. You have to develop a light painting feature and add new pin types. (That's what the HDR Light Studio was doing good).
3- We need new light sources. Studio rendering is good but still, it's hard to create "simple" interior scenes.
4- Edit normals, UV mapping features could be much more useful. I especially hate UV mapping. It's too complicated and limited.
5- We need a feature like "Turbo Smooth" in 3Ds Max. Edit normals features are weak.
6- I knot this is a little bit fantastic and beyond the purpose of the Keyshot but the Probolean feature will make everything really different for the other users. (Think about that).

- It has really elaborate texture rendering. Lifelike texturization, fast preview and output is just amazing.- Perfect for Product Designers. It's integration with Solidworks works best too. My wife use this software avidly as a product designer.- Clean interface is a fireworks. Understandably, as this is just a rendering software, it has clean and user-friendly interface. Easy to use.- Lighting effects are maximized with Keyshot. Just the presets are good enough to use. Drag and drop is just making your 3D life easy-breezy.- Material libraries on it's own are one of the best addition of Keyshot. Really intended for product designers and small project in graphic design and web design.- Easy to learn - take that!

- Lags and glitches. Sometimes, Keyshot tend to get stuck and don't give the effects that you just need. No error feedback given. I hope they have fixed this one.- Cannot edit some of the modes. Which is obvious, some user want to edit with keyshot. But we need to put things in place - Keyshot is a rendering software and not a 3D Modeling Software.- You might need faster computer to maximize the benefit of Keyshot.- Will make your computer a little unstable and hot specially rendering high-poly models.

Keyshot was included with Alibre Expert (MCAD software) and integrates very well with it. In order to show potential customers what my products look like as assembled and exploded models, I use backgrounds within Keyshot or my own background images. This version of Keyshot does not contain animation but creating amazing photo-realistic images is very quick and easy. There are many lighting selections and I often switch back and forth to see which looks best.

Animation would be nice to have in this bundled copy of Keyshot and Alibre but I've seen some instructional videos of how to animate using the paid versions of Keyshot and its capabilities are very impressive.
