Loving it Pros I love that it's easy to use, love love love the interface. And the features and functions are amazing. Really like how many material there, and also very easy to set up lighting. Plus the quality of the renderings are amazing!! Cons It's a little pricey but there isn't anything i dislike about it. Maybe if it offers a little more of a modeling side it would be nice.

Industrial Design Student Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "benefits and struggles of Keyshot" June 8, 2021 4.0 Pros The huge variety of materials offered and how realistic and dynamic they look. Barely any changes are needed to create a realistic render. Even if rendering it takes ages, i love rendering animations sometimes and the fact that keyshot saves every frame as a high quality image helps a lot Cons The lighting system and HDRI is extremely confusing, specially in terms of placement and direction. Most of the time, when i need a more complex/personalized lighting, i end up creating objects and assigning them the light material instead of using the actual lighting features.

Pros I've spend some time with my team on Digizuite DAM and within this time we've been able to fully use it. It wasn't difficult to setup, but it can require some skill to fully master. The UI is good and this helped new members to use it. Besides that I like how customisable Digizuite DAM is. Cons I can't think of anything that I didn't like about Digizuite DAM. If i had to say anything I'd say they could still give some updates to the documentation. Review Source JF Jakob F. manager Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Awesome !!"
