1️⃣ Make sure your model is split into 3 separate surfaces
The glass surface up to where it touches the liquid, the top surface of the liquid that is in contact with air, and the inner liquid surface that touches the glass.
2️⃣ When creating the liquid material, use either a Liquid or Dielectric material type
Reduce render times by better optimizing your scenes
This can also help your scenes run faster and more efficiently!
1️⃣ Start with the re-tessellation tool
When moving models from CAD into KeyShot Studio, this helps to maintain high poly models while reducing its count so that not all your memory is being used up.
2️⃣ Link materials and edit lighting settings to reduce render calculations while maintaining quality.
Faster alignment + fewer revisions: how renders speed up product engineering
Take it from Mechanical Engineer Wyatt Weaver:
"Exploded views, realistic materials, and detailed perspectives made it easier for teams to understand intent, assembly, and overall system functions. That added clarity often led to faster alignment, fewer late-stage revisions, and more confident decisions."
Shape the future of KeyShot Studio + take your renders from beta to best
Our KeyShot Luminaries community continues to be one of the most active spaces for users looking to level up. This month, members shared their best practices and participated in a product beta for our next release, contributing directly to conversations that shape what we build next.
What’s coming in March:
More exclusive previews of our newest features and updates
Direct feedback sessions with the KeyShot team via Office Hours
Opportunities to grow your network + find like-minded KeyShot users
And of course, points + rewards for participation (a free year of KeyShot, anyone?)
If you’re passionate about KeyShot, love sharing your expertise, and want to provide feedback to the KeyShot team, we’d love to hear from you.
