I often receive comments about why I use KeyShot. I'm asked which rendering tool I recommend and which one is better, or best. Comparing render engines is not a practical or easy comparison to make, especially as KeyShot is quite different from many rendering software.

I made this video to shed some light on the nuances of KeyShot and how it differs from many other render engines. I also get into why many choose to use KeyShot and why some choose to leave it.

This video was made to answer questions I had when I was studying industrial design in college. I hope you enjoy it.
