So, naturally, you’d think you now get to pay monthly for your license. On the subscription FAQ page one of the first benefits Luxion cites is ‘reduced upfront cost to a pay-as-you-go model. If you are using a node-locked license of an earlier version of KeyShot you are still able to renew maintenance on those licenses for the time being for $500/yr. When you buy KeyShot 11 online, your license will automatically become subscription-based. Luxion doesn’t list subscription-based licenses as a feature of KeyShot 11, but I wanted to mention it here.

It sounds like those who’ve already paid the $1000 to add KeyShotWEB to their node-locked license may be offered some sort of deal/discount on a KeyShotWEB upgrade for their KeyShot 11 subscription licenses. The visual fidelity of models shared on the Web Viewer will be similar to KeyVR using rasterization and OpenGL instead of Ray Tracing you experience in KeyShot’s real-time view.

KeyShot then generates an easy-to-share URL. To use this, just choose ‘Upload to KeyShot Web Viewer’ from the file menu. Then, you can upload KeyShot files to the KeyShot Web Viewer to interact and share scenes with others from any device, anywhere. Therefore, the web viewer is essentially a ‘subscription only’ feature. When you switch over to the subscription model of KeyShot, you’ll have the option to pay for KeyShotWEB for $468 per year.

I personally have never tried to perform scripting in KeyShot since I don’t know how to write python. Headless rendering extends the functionality of the scripting console by running KeyShot without a user interface. This is useful for some high-volume jobs that require automation. If you weren’t aware of it, KeyShot supports scripting in the language of Python.
