What makes KeyShot an important tool to have? The amazing rendering results that you can have in such a short period of time. I can easily import a 3D model, quickly play with different materials, add any texture and play with the HDRi environment to create amazing high-resolution renderings fast. As speed is very important in these client projects, having a tool that you can achieve great results fast is key to almost every design process. And KeyShot is definitely one of the main tools that deliver that. What advice would you give to someone interested in doing what you do? Be curious to learn new things: As designers, we always need to keep learning. I love reading books (design and non-design related), seeing the workflow of other artists and designers, listening to interviews in podcasts, reading articles on Medium, learning new tools, etc. All of this helps keep me learning new things every day that somehow end up influencing my design decisions, helping in the discussions I have with the team during projects, or just improving my workflow. Get inspired: I always try to spend some time on Pinterest, Instagram, ArtStation, Dribbble, and any other platform to just look and save interesting images. I’m also always inspired by listening to other people’s stories and experiences. Gathering inspirations daily is one of my main fuels to keep myself creative and trying new things every day. Practice: Like any sport or ability you need to master, you always need to keep practicing to improve your skills. Only in this way you are able to become faster, start seeing details that you weren’t able to see before, and really start pushing the refinement of your work to the next level. “Since KeyShot is super easy to set up a scene, using it during the process is perfect to see if you are going in the right direction and see where it needs more refinement.“
