Keyshot for IronCAD

“KeyShot for IronCAD” enables users to create 3D models quickly and then at a push of a button, generate stunning visuals for communication and collaboration. Using Luxion’s LiveLinking™ technology, IronCAD users create new product designs and then work with them directly in KeyShot while maintaining assembly structure and model appearance. During the design process, users can update and make changes from within the IronCAD interface and have these changes automatically reflected in the rendered image. The changed geometry uses previous applied KeyShot materials allowing new images to be created with ease.

Key highlights of “KeyShot for IronCAD”

Easy
You don’t have to be a rendering expert to create stunning images of your 3D models. Transfer your data into KeyShot from IronCAD products, drag and drop materials, adjust the lighting, and move the camera. Done. Everything happens right in front of your eyes, all in real-time.

Real-time Raytracing
Whether you are creating 3D renderings or animations, you see everything happen instantly which decreases the time it takes to create photorealistic 3D images.

Instant Real World Lighting
All of the environmental lights inside KeyShot can accurately simulate differences in brightness from a simple LED all the way up to the intensity of the sun and cast shadows accordingly.

Scientifically Accurate Materials
All KeyShot materials are scientifically accurate and have physical properties based on real world materials. This makes setting up realistic materials extremely easy, foolproof and faster than ever.

Importing Data
The KeyShot for IronCAD version allows you to use IronCAD’s import capabilities to access data from other applications. Use the standard formats such as IGES, STEP, ACIS and Parasolid as well as a long list of graphical formats or consider the Trans Product to import native file formats such as Solidworks, Inventor, CATIA, Pro/E (CREO), and UG/NX.

Render from Within

The IRONCAD KeyShot integration sends CAD data directly to the 3D rendering program from within the IRONCAD interface to create realistic renders in real time. Users can modify data in IRONCAD to update geometry in KeyShot while maintaining applied material information, seamlessly facilitating changes in the visualization process in real time.

You don’t have to be a rendering expert to create photorealistic images of your 3D model. Simply click ‘Render in KeyShot’, apply materials, adjust the lighting, position the camera – done. Learning KeyShot literally takes only a few minutes.
