Real-Time Photorealistic Renderings of 3D CAD Models
in Seconds
KeyShot 2 is a new application built on Luxion’s production-proven real-time
interactive ray tracing lighting and global illumination technology.
KeyShot 2 makes it easy to create photographic images from 3D models with
realistic lighting, giving anyone with 3D data the ability to create a
photographic image in a matter of seconds, regardless of the size of the digital
model. KeyShot 2 delivers amazing real-time “shots” without the need for
special graphics cards.

Alibre Design Expert and Professional v. 12.1 also offer the new BIP export
format specifically designed for KeyShot 2. In addition, Alibre Design Expert
and Professional v. 12.1 also takes advantage of the new capabilities in KeyShot
2 by taking 3D data and exporting it directly into Luxion’s native format for
cleaner, easier and faster 3D rendered models and amazing shots.
According to J. Paul Grayson, CEO of Alibre, “The combination of Alibre
Design and KeyShot 2 enables our customers to create and render images that are
indistinguishable from professional photographs of actual physical products.
This means that they can show their customers how a product will look prior to
incurring the expense of actually creating a physical prototype, thereby saving
thousands of dollars and increasing sales by showing a compelling representation
of the final product.”
“KeyShot 2 is the next generation of photorealistic real-time rendering,”
said Max Freeman, VP of Marketing, Alibre Inc. “Alibre Design and KeyShot 2 is
the complete end-to-end solution for our customers, combining extreme
ease-of-use, a high level of capabilities, and native BIP export.”
