Options:

• Send scene to KeyShot
• Send changes to KeyShot
• Export scene to file

KeyShot integration settings:

Animation options:

• Either export a specific frame, the current frame selected or Export to KeyShot Animation (default).
• Note: KeyShot only supports rigid transforms, so exporting a specific frame is well suited to deformable meshes etc.

Curve options:

• Set the radius modifier and toggle KeyShot's curve smoothing option.

NURBS options:

• Toggle which NURBS data to transfer to KeyShot.
• Note: Not transferring the tessellation data can provide a speedup for NURBS heavy scenes, but does require NURBS rendering in KeyShot
