KeyShot is standalone 3D rendering and animation software from Luxion, the design-to-market standard for product designers and engineers. Import a model from virtually any CAD or 3D tool and KeyShot renders it photorealistically in real time, with a drag-and-drop material workflow that needs no prior rendering experience.
Professional CAD Systems supplies KeyShot in New Zealand. Buy KeyShot Studio Pro on this page in NZD, with GST handled properly and local support included.
What's new
KeyShot Studio 2026.1AI Shots you can edit, upscale and trust
KeyShot Studio 2026.1 sharpens the AI toolset and modelling ergonomics, with photoreal AI Shots that stay editable.
- Improved
Photoreal AI Shots
AI Shots produce significantly more realistic results from short prompts, with background mode placing your product at correct perspective and scale.
- New
Edit and upscale renders
Transform mode reworks an existing render from a prompt, Replace mode edits a masked region, and upscaling doubles or quadruples resolution in a fraction of the render time.
- New
Named custom pivots
Parts and groups can carry multiple named custom pivots, stored in the scene for precise, repeatable moves.
- Local
AI that stays on your machine
AI Shots runs locally on custom-trained models tuned for CAD data, with no significant change to hardware requirements.
Available in
Imports from every major CAD platform
KeyShot reads 34 native 3D formats with live plugins for the major tools, so your model comes in clean, no export dance. A representative selection:
See the final render while you design
KeyShot's real-time ray tracing shows a physically accurate image the moment you move a light, swap a material or turn the model. AI denoise clears it fast, so what you see is what you ship.
The preview is the render, updating live.
Clean frames in a fraction of the samples.
Global illumination and true caustics.
A material library that does the hard part
Drag a material onto a part and it just looks right. Build your own with the node-based material graph and procedural textures, then reuse them across projects. Realistic materials, lighting and environments come built in.
Put every machine you own to work
Final frames, animations and big resolutions render faster when KeyShot spreads the job across the computers on your network, so a deadline doesn't wait on one workstation.
AI tools that run locally
Restyle, Background and Imagine modes bring generative AI into the render workflow, running locally so your designs stay on your hardware. Use them to explore looks and backdrops without leaving KeyShot.
From CAD model to client-ready in one tool
Stills, one-click animations and product reveals come out of the same scene, so the model you engineered becomes the visuals marketing needs without a second pipeline.

KeyShot FAQs
Do I need separate 3D software to use KeyShot?
No. Unlike a renderer that lives inside a host application, KeyShot is a standalone app: you import a model and render it in KeyShot itself. You still need a CAD or 3D tool to create the model, but KeyShot runs on its own, and live plugins can link it to the major CAD platforms.
Which applications can it import from?
KeyShot reads 34 native 3D formats covering every major CAD platform, with 14 live CAD plugins and 50-plus file extensions, so models come in without an export dance. SketchUp, Rhino, Fusion 360, Onshape, Creo, Siemens NX, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Blender, Maya, ZBrush and more are all covered.
Is it real-time or offline rendering?
Both. KeyShot shows a real-time ray-traced preview while you work, then renders final frames at full quality. AI denoise keeps the live view clean, so the preview closely matches the output.
Can KeyShot do animation?
Yes. One-click animations and product reveals are built in, so turntables, exploded views and walkthroughs come out of the same scene as your stills.
Which AI tools are included?
KeyShot Studio includes local AI tools - Restyle, Background and Imagine modes - plus AI denoise. They run on your machine, so your designs are not sent to a third-party service.
Does it support network rendering?
Yes. KeyShot can distribute a render across the machines on your network to finish big frames and animations faster.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, and no credit card is required. Try it on your own model, then buy KeyShot Studio Pro on this page when you are ready to license it.
Can I buy KeyShot from you?
Yes. Buy KeyShot Studio Pro on this page in NZD; we supply and support it locally.
