Post by: Ramy on July 02, 2012, 09:54:11 AM
it is my first test to see if keyshot can handle an architecture render.......well the result is not bad at all as a first test (not to mention i was in a hurry so i didn't chumfer any corner  :o ) but i believe it can do much better

Thanks for sharing!  KeyShot is excellent with exteriors, and also with interiors if you can chop out walls or ceilings to allow light access to the interiors.  However, you will have some issues with lighting "orthographic" projections as you have shown here.  It's often difficult to get the HDRI dome to behave the way you want.  Try not using ortho, but instead a very high focal length on the camera setting tab.  Try like 500 or so to start.  You can often live with the very slight perspective that results.

Hopefully one of the KS team can give us all some additional advice on ortho projection lighting.

Not exterior, only interiors.  But others on the forum do- search a bit, and hopefully someone will chip in with advice.
