Can we post questions about Keyshot here, or would it be better to post them elsewhere?

Thank you. :slight_smile:

One minor thing I’ll mention, is that it the webinar the other day it was stated that that the Zbrush render settings don’t react with Keyshot in any way. That’s true for the most part, but an exception is “Smooth Normals” in the ZBrush Render Properties menu.

This will send the Zbrush render object to Keyshot with smoothed normals, which is useful for removing the appearance of poly facets from a low poly object without increasing geometry.

Thank you! :+1:

I had no idea what was causing facets to show, in ZB and/or KS.

This is a useful tip. :slight_smile:

There is the KeyShot forum where you can ask questions about KeyShot. https://www.keyshot.com/forum/
