Hi everyone in the KeyShot community.
I have some web skill and im wondering if you guys would like me to create a website where we can upload and share custom materials.
If you didnt know, now KeyShot 3 let you import and export materials and create a nice package to share :D
Would you like the web and visit it once a week?
Would you help building and sharing new materials? (You will create it, render a sample, and upload de sample + the material package)
Cheers
Great idea. Thanks Blunk
very good idea, how to .... Maxwell Render:)
but the sauce Keyshot better! :)

Lets begin coding then.
Start getting some nice materials to share :D
If anyone wants to help me with code or design just PM me :D
I'm in!
I have wanted this for so long. Great to have someone actually do it! I'm in.

I got this idea last year but didnt get very far due to time. If you want to use it, I own the domain www.sharemymaterials.com
Let me know.

I'd be totally interested... I'm wading into KS3, and the (apparent) lack of materials is a bummer...
Hi Imz;
I'm puzzled by your comment on lack of materials in KS3. I have 690 materials, some mine, so I guess about 660 stock materials. Do you have the full download? I will say the materials to date are awesome, and I know there's a ton more coming.

609 are in the installer :)
Please do let us know if there are some specific types that you feel would be good to include in the default library.
We do plan to offer some more packs online to extend the library.

Are these likely to be free or chargeable?
some more fabrics would be great, like a standard canvas and some more technical fabrics like found on suitcases, rucksacks and sports shoes. for now i will experiment building my own.
This could be either a forum or a link on the Keyshot site itself. Just need to talk the KS guys into supporting it... :)

I would second that. But when will the website be ready? Anyone knows?
It is very easy to create these materials yourself. All you need is a high quality scan of the material. You can use one of the existing materials as guidance, and apply the textures accordingly.
hi,
this would be an excellent idea to create keyshot material library!
any good news about new materials?
Thanks !
We definitely need an online resource.. KeyShot seems great for rendering metal, but if you want wood or fabric or plastic that's not gloss or matte... SolidWorks has more variety of materials than KeyShot. Downloadable material packages and online sharing resource please!
I mean for the price I'm paying for pro they should be included already :P
As the post at the top of the page said.. fabric, canvas, cotton etc. PLEASE!
Have you looked at KeyShot 3 yet? It contains over 700 materials. Also, materials are extremely easy to create yourself. Simply modify one of the existing textures by applying a new color map -done.

hi thomas,
you're right, this program with over 700 hundreds materials is amazing !
i think, that unorthodoxdesign doesn't meant to disrespect you or your work :o
we are always pushed by time, so we need to finish our projects in very short time, so it's hard to get free time when you need to create a new material in a seconds.
when you get bad day, you spill your coffee over keyboard and finally delete some of your materials from the library, you're fuc**d up.
when bad things happen you have no way to download them immediately, you have to wait for customer service.
this may be also the reason, why online free material library/warehouse could be a good idea, because you can get it,
when you need it, and finaly people can even share their unique materials with others.
thanks for stopping by

Anything that will increase the process of rendering scenes would be welcome. As far as missing textures Maple, Plywood, Walnut, Teak, More fabrics, more plastic textures, more illuminated textures..... Yes it is easy to make materials if you have endless cash for arroway texture DVD's and the like. You are also competing with programs like 3DS Max, Maya, Cinema 4d, MODO 601 and they have smoking material libraries.
I understand your concerns. There are plenty of resources out there that provide high quality textures free of charge or for a nominal fee - www.cgtextures.com.
We will get there.
Ok guys! I see a lot of people in the comunity that wants to share and to discover new materias packages with custom textures, and so on, for Keyshot 3!
I have something up already, right now under development and dont want to push it to the world until its ready.
If you have materials to share please start sending them and I will start fill up the database.
Would apreciate donations for domain and hosting.
If you wish you can also tell some feature request or domain name alternatives!
Its definitely a project by the community for the community!
Contact me by PM :D
why dont we make a google drive account and post user and password to upload materials
????????
