Hey guys we have a release date of the new keyshot 6? Thx
15th of June (2015) was the last thing i have heard, so i guess we have to be patient. :D
Hello,
I recently asked and was told the release date was around October 2015.
Neil
Thx MisterNeil...i dont understand why they (Mr. Mings) dont give to us never any idea for release date...i understand all (development, upgrade, work about new version, problems) but i ask any general info.. its possible to give at the people or not? The date release will be give at public for every software, film, games today....Luxion no.. :o

I think Iv been waiting for about 5 years for Rhino to get out of beta(OSX), and in all that time they barely announced a thing! I find luxion one of the must informative / transparent software developers around. And they also seem to listen to user feedback regarding new features more than other developers. Not trying to kiss ass, just calling it as I see it.

I agree with Edwardo 100%
Luxion are extremely customer focused...

Most small software developers, like Microsoft, release upgrades way before they are ready. Luxion does not, as I'm sure you have noticed. They get it right, because it's all about us, the users, not about them.
My high school stage instructor told the director, who was yowling that the set would not be finished by opening night, "We never show unfinished work to fools and children".

First releases .. I wouldn't call them "ready" .. but the good thing is .. you can't call them "finished" either.
I think the final release of a version is close to 100%. But we do get regular updates. Which in a way is very handy .. one gets to use the software BEFORE it's close to 100% .. and one gets to ask for changes/improvements/new-features along the way. For me, that's one of the reasons to be with Keyshot and to stay with Keyshot.

Really ? you think that do you ?, well, not in my experience they don't...
Next Limit don't give a solid date or even a conservative estimate for their latest releases of Maxwell Render, neither do Maxon for Cinema 4D or for that matter Pixologic for ZBrush - and the reason ? because schedules slip, due to one thing or another, whether that be bugs found by Beta testers, or other reasons.
I imagine to give a solid, set in concrete date would be silly...

I think it is better to wait a little but have a complete and 100% working software than have it immediately but with a lot of bug...
To me, it is not a problem to wait...the important things to me is stability and some new features!
Yeah stability is crucial .. that's even why I tend to wait a couple of weeks or months before migrating from one version to the next. In the meantime I can check user feedback and user reports of how stable it is. No vX.0 for me .. rather vX.18 or so :)
In dutch we say "to look the cat out of the tree" .. but that probably makes no sence in English haha :)

In English we say, 'If the Software doesn't work, shoot the cat out of the tree...' ;) :)

HAHA, J ... ;D
Must be american english then for sure ;D Perhaps even Texas accent :P
Ok no release date...but i have just read the review about keyshot 6 in artistonline...how can they review an incomplete software and give to reader an opinion (complete) about the program? Or the software is alreadly completed and miss only the release date? Then if the software is complete why they dont give to us the release date..strange or not? Lol ;D
Shot the cat, destroy the tree, burn the cat on tree and eat it...lol
Ciao and thx guys
damn it! That was MY cat ! Grrrrr
:P ???
hey we are very excited - is there any news on a possible release period??
Ehy we must be serious....no news??? Ridicolous at this time...please Luxion give any update or info...
As an official beta tester I can honestly say that I have received no date plans what so ever yet. However, what i can say is that version 6 is a massive release for KeyShot and there are still areas that need some attention to get that all important Stability. This latest incarnation is already getting pretty good stability, but as with all software of this nature there are always some hitches such as the two new OS releases that put things back a tad.
Be patient, let the guys at Luxion work their magic. Like I said it's a huge improvement over version 5 and it would not be wise to release until it's production house ready. Better to get rave reviews for a major overhaul than get the application released before it's ready and be eaten alive with poor reviews.
If it helps, and it is just a guess here, I would say early 1st quarter 2016
Martin
ohhh alleluja a man with an info...thanks a lot....this is important...we have an update now ..thx a lot..
I agree. I'm also a beta tester, and I must say that KeyShot 6 is such a massive upgrade that it's well worth the wait! Seriously, it will change the future of high-end rendering forever!
Bill G
As much as everyone wants know when v6 is to be released, you just cannot rush some upgrades. Here is an old Orson Wells wine commercial (https://youtu.be/oSs6DcA6dFI) that kind of puts it in perspective.
HaroldL
Also a Beta tester here.
They're fixing bugs on a daily basis, but if I look back to the earlier builds, the list of fixes seem to get more and more refined recently, which means to me, that a final release should be coming very soon. Super excited, very powerful update.
IMO, KeyShot 6 is starting to run, in the words of my Uncle Art, "Slicker than snot on a doorknob"!
Bill G
Ohhhhhh coming soon????????? ??? ??? ??? No news...you are seroius??
IT is going to be released tomorrow. Just got information from Sales! i was trying to get information about promotion for KS5 but i think i`ll miss it. :'(
ehy don't joke...i hope you are right for tomorrow release...or i want search you...lol
No kidding, no joke at all! . I've an email from them which says it is going to be relesead tomorrow. May be the day after but definitely he wrote tomorrow.
??? ??? Ok ok...post this mail and show your truth...or king kong will search you.. ;D ;D
I hope your info is really right...the best surprise
I strongly believe that with the beta contest ... all signs are there that it should be ready shortly after the beta contest is finished... Just a feeling I have. Any day now.
QuoteNo kidding, no joke at all! . I've an email from them which says it is going to be relesead tomorrow. May be the day after but definitely he wrote tomorrow.
As a Beta tester I find that hard to believe...
I'm not going to give his name so I will delete his name but copy the email.
Mert,
I will need a new license request file from the new machine so if you can generate a new one for me I can send a new license file. Did you make sure hyper threading is turned on? KeyShot 6 will be released tomorrow so even if you by today you will get KS6 for free. And yes you would receive all dot updates to KeyShot 6 as well.
Pro will be the same price as before. $1,995 for Node Locked & $2,995 for Floating

as I'm waiting for it I just wanted to let you know as well.

Lol, Father Jack would be brilliant...

Be patient, guys! Remember several weeks ago when Adele dropped her single and it almost crashed the internet? Well, I'm sure Luxion does not want that to happen when KeyShot 6 drops, so they're probably expanding their servers and bandwidth, and cleaning out their Internet Tubes*.

*an Al Gore term!
is out ...the gem......yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I think you owe me apology!
I WON!
Yep! It's official! They dropped KeyShot 6 today!!!

I tested the ZBrush Bridge on our end , and have not experienced problems. You should be good to go.
But let us know if you run into problems.
