With KeyShot 5, Luxion continues to provide the smoothest integration between modeling and rendering, allowing users of PTC Creo 3.0 to open their designs directly in KeyShot from inside PTC Creo, and push all changes to their model back into KeyShot, including the ability for Mechanism Animations created within PTC Creo to be directly imported into KeyShot. NURBS geometry import is now supported for fast, accurate NURBS ray-tracing inside KeyShot 5. With additional performance improvements in KeyShot 5 and the free KeyShot for PTC Creo plugin, incredible visuals are only minutes away.
“We are very pleased to have Luxion as a PTC ® PartnerAdvantage ™ partner, bringing rich visuals to the PTC Creo platform with their 3D rendering and animation solution,” says Michael Campbell, Executive Vice President, CAD Segment, PTC. “Our users face different challenges in the product development process with the need to produce visuals throughout. With PTC Creo 3.0 and the updated KeyShot plugin for PTC Creo, we are convinced that the development process will be smoother than ever before, from concept to manufacturing, and beyond.”
