In April, we announced that Luxion and Digizuite united as KeyShot. We are now one integrated company, with a bold vision to reinvent the way products are brought to market by seamlessly connecting every phase of the product design journey.
Today, I’m excited to share an update on the steps we’re taking to deliver on our expanded vision and unveil our new brand look – designed to inspire the innovation, creativity and collaboration central to our next chapter.
Not only have we updated our website and branding, we’re introducing new names for our main KeyShot products, and we’ve also launched an entirely new tool for design teams called KeyShot Hub.
All this newness is a result of the fresh vision and direction at KeyShot, to help our customers facilitate a more efficient and collaborative journey from product concept to market delivery. We know from working with designers, design leaders and executives that companies are bogged down in processes rife with inefficiency, redundancy and confusion. A Product Design-to-Market strategy provides ample cost and time-saving opportunities, freeing up precious resources for delivering innovative products to your customers.
We have been hard at work behind the scenes with these developments, and I am so excited to share them with you.
KeyShot software is now called KeyShot Studio
The KeyShot rendering software you know and love has a new name: KeyShot Studio. We’re honored to provide the virtual studio where designers bring their creative visions to life, and our dedication to our rendering software is stronger than ever. Today, we are excited to announce the impactful release of KeyShot Studio version 2024.2. This update brings several significant enhancements designed to elevate your day-to-day workflow, including:
- Upgraded Web Viewer now featuring export preview, material matching and texture baking
- Customer-requested UI upgrades, including a more user-friendly Move Tool with customizable hotkeys
- Import updates, including animation files

Introducing KeyShot Hub for design teams
Over the two decades that industrial designers have relied on KeyShot, they’ve shared with us their workflow challenges and best practices. We’ve learned that there is a significant need for team workflow solutions, including help with managing scenes, library assets and renderings; version tracking and control; and keeping track of feedback during reviews. Designers have told us that they spend a lot of energy on these tasks, but they’d rather be focused on their designs.
That’s why I’m thrilled to introduce KeyShot Hub, the new collaboration tool that keeps design teams together throughout the entire product design pipeline. Now you can rely on a team-integrated library for materials, textures, environments and scenes. Make your KeyShot Studio data even more useful by adding tags, connecting related assets and tracking versions, from initial creation to completion of the visualization process. With Hub, your team can better focus on what they do best: designing beautiful products and visuals that customers love.

Digizuite DAM software is now KeyShot Dock
In April, Digizuite officially joined forces with KeyShot and now, Digizuite’s digital asset manager (DAM) is KeyShot Dock, featuring enhanced capabilities.
Our customers are increasingly seeking solutions to capitalize on the shift to 3D visualization to captivate their audience with stunning product experiences. With KeyShot Dock, we aim to deliver a state-of-the-art DAM that embraces the power of 3D, centralizes asset management and ensures efficient distribution across all sales and marketing channels.
KeyShot Dock continues to provide powerful integrations, automation and distribution capabilities tailored to your needs. Updates released today include:
- Upload assets directly to an existing folder and streamline folder tagging.
- Choose preferred asset format when sharing a single asset without creating a collection.
- View asset crops directly on the asset card with crop indicator.
- Follow on-demand download progress with status indicator.
- Generate AI metadata on multiple assets at one time.
Going forward, you will see us introduce features tailored to 3D assets, while continuing to invest in capabilities that reduce cost and boost productivity.

While we’re pleased to bring these updates to you today, we’re not taking a break – we are always working hard to provide the very best Product Design-to-Market Suite. As we keep our focus on the future, we are so grateful that you, and thousands of other customers around the world, continue to take part in the KeyShot story. Thank you for choosing KeyShot – we believe the best is yet to come!
