That looks most excellent.
Not a criticism in the slightest, but maybe run it through PS to get rid of some of the banding. I always get it when I'm going very dark renders.

Can you share your tricks for eliminating banding (dithering) in Photoshop?  Any tricks for reducing this in KeyShot?

Hello! 
Depends on the image, but I normally add noise/blur on whichever channel is the worst. Just found this: (which basically explains it in more detail)

In keyshot, no, 'fraid not - photoshop is really the only way to shift them.

Oh and render the car/background out seperately, so can you do your de-banding just on the background.. and not using the vignette option in KS really helps. I do mine in PS

Very nice insight and link!  Thanks!
