KeyShot Rendering For Beginners Pt.2

[@csar9097]

I've been using Keyshot for 6 years now. I certainly don't consider myself a newbie, but I still learn new things even from Will Gibbons' beginner tutorials. Thanks, master!

[@WillGibbons]

Thanks, glad you're still learning new things!

[@princeamramteke]

Really beginner friendly tutorial series. I followed both the parts from start to end without scratching my head. Thanks Will for these😇❤

[@WillGibbons]

Sweet! Thanks for letting me know. Cheers!

God of key shot is back with another banger 🔥😊

@@WillGibbons i hope i didn't sound sarcastic but i actually respect you a lot because the amounts of skill and knowledge u have is another level.... You explain everything in such a simplified way🥹🌟

great content...please keep uploading

[@alanondarzacr4]

muchas gracias por este video, el curso q mencionas cuenta con sub en español ? algo asi como los q proporciona yt ?

[@WillGibbons]

Unfortunately, not. Sorry for the inconvenience.

You are the man!

I love man ❤

[@endhyartz]

can u do vehicle lamp (headlight/stoplamp) tutorial material set up?

[@WillGibbons]

It's a good request. I'd need to get my hands on a nice model first, which can be tough to do.

[@endhyartz]

@ i can send u a car model if it possible

[@WillGibbons]

@@endhyartz Thanks, but where's the car model from? If it was downloaded from an online library, it's probably not legal to redistribute... unless it's under a Creative Commons license. But if you modeled it, then of course, it's fine. The tricky thing is though that the way to get a headlight to look good will vary depending on if all the details are modeled out like it would be on a model by the manufacturer vs. if it's a look-alike model for video games.

[@endhyartz]

@@WillGibbons ah i see, i want to send but the model extracted from games asset

[@allanpennington]

When Im in Geometry view and select the light panel for eg and right click to Move, the Gismo ends up in the live view window. I have to click the Gismo icon in the geometry view to show the Gismo there. When you click and then right click to move your Gismo appears automatically in the geometry view. How do I set that behavior?

[@WillGibbons]

Are you on an older version of KeyShot? I didn't change anything to make that happen. Are you on a mac or pc?

[@allanpennington]

@ Latest Keyshot 2024 on a Mac but running the Windows version via Parallels Desktop and a virtual machine

[@MahbubRahman999]

Hlw KeyShot Master, I've imported a model into Keyshot, but the entire model is assigned a single material. Now, when I use a texture map, it gets applied across the whole model. Can you tell me how to fix this? I want to apply texture maps separately to each object. I know that separating the objects in Maya/Keyshot can fix this issue when applying one texture to the leaves and another to the branches. However, I want to know if there’s any setting in Keyshot itself that can resolve this.

[@WillGibbons]

You may need to make sure you're using UV mapping for the texture mapping property. Is this a model you got from an online marketplace?

[@MahbubRahman999]

@@WillGibbons Thank you for your response! Yes, the model is from an online marketplace, and it’s an OBJ file format. I didn’t create it myself. (Also, I kindly wanted to ask for your help with another matter. Could you please grant me posting access in your Discord channel? I’ve been a member of the Render Family for quite a while, and I used to have posting access. However, it seems I no longer have permission to post.) It would be really helpful if you could look into this for me. Thank you so much for your time and support!

[@KaustubRauthan]

hello sir, my bip file and ksp files are not opening. whenever im trying to open any file i created since last 2 days they are loading till96% then keyshot is closing itself

[@WillGibbons]

Is there an update available? If so, I'd recommend updating your software.

[@KoganeNoYubi]

I just try to transition from Maverick render to keyshot due to 2year without updates but jewelry looks so much worse in keyshot. I think something is off with reflections

[@WillGibbons]

Not sure what to say. The algorithms for ray tracing in rendering tools are all pretty much the same. There are some minor differences such as default values, but in my experience, those who can light well in one tool can typically transfer their knowledge into another.

[@KoganeNoYubi]

@ I did some ab testing with Maverick and keyshot with the same hdri maps. And keyshot does something strange to self reflections on gold materials. all GI ON with 64 passes etc. the self reflections don’t create any contrasting darker shades. Only washed up bright shades.

[@LIFEQURAN]

Please make a video how to use (blenderkit) in keyshot

[@WillGibbons]

I've never used Blenderkit. I'm thinking you'd either need to export your scene as FBX (will probably need to re-create materials in KeyShot) or potentially try USD format which should bake the textures into the models.

[@AzraelWinters]

I believe you're familiar with subsurface engravings. Could you please share a tutorial on how you would approach shading subsurface engravings of 3D models within a crystal block in KeyShot?

[@WillGibbons]

Yeah. I did a rendering of one of those almost 10 years ago. It's pretty niche, so I'm not sure I'll do a tutorial on it. But here's what you do. Step 1. Take a model of what you want engraved. Apply an X-Ray material to it in KeyShot. Step 2. Take a cube and set its material to glass. Step 3. Place the X-Ray model inside the cube. Make sure you're in product mode and it should work as expected.

[@douglasguiana]

vão ser quantas aulas? Parabéns pelo conteúdo pois é incrível.

[@WillGibbons]

Just this one for rendering. Sorry for the confusion. I called it a series because this is the first time I've had a long video and broken it into shorter videos.

[@douglasguiana]

@@WillGibbons sem problemas! já sou grato pelo fato de nos fornecer qualquer conheimento de forma gratuita.

[@StudioManthan-xo8gc]

Pls. Also make video on flexible material animation on key shot a watch strap and unveiling dramatic video

[@WillGibbons]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd like to do this. I assume you saw my video from a few weeks ago? I did one where I show how to export deformation animations from Blender. You can't do any flexing of parts in KeyShot.

[@StudioManthan-xo8gc]

@@WillGibbons ohh yess ,i saw the video just asked whether its possible without blender but uou cleared here man👍
