[jonfer]

Hey guys! I just got the Hdr light studio 2.0 and I was wondering how I could use it with keyshot... thanks!!

Go to the HDR light studio website, there is a lot of video and tuts to show you...

Did you get the Pro version?

[quigley]

Not sure if the Keyshot version is actually released yet - I think it was due out on September 1st.

You should see an extra button in the environment tab in options if it is installed, and you do need the Pro version of HDR Light Studio as TT said.

In any case this is a fantastic new product that elevates Keyshot to a whole new level of precison rendering and should (finally) shut up all those who complain that Keyshot doesn't offer enough control over lighting! With HDR Light Studio plug in you have all the control you could need. Honestly, with this product and keyshot you really don't need anything else for rendering for studio type product design shots and more besides. Enjoy!

Did you install KeyShot 2.3?

[jonfer]

yes I did...any problem with this version?!

[quigley]

Email the guys at Lightmap - they should be able to sort you out quickly. Failing that (and apologies if this is a daft question) are you 100% sure you actually have the Keyshot plug in installed? Like I said, it is not due for release until Thursday.

[jonfer]

I don't have the plugin yet...But I saw some people here already using hdr light and keyshot together.. So do they have the plugin or something?!

[jonfer]

I don't know why I'm getting this "noise" in my image! I tried to put some light source like a plane with light material but its not enough =/. This is just a preview from the viewport...Even if I render it I still get the noise =/ Does anyone know how I can bright that up and remove the noise!? thanks

Yes you need the Keyshot Plug In for HDR LightStudio Pro - then you can work as you do in the videos. But the plug in is not released until tomorrow - I expect you will get an email from Lightmap with links at some point in the next few days.

The plug in is not available yet - I was beta testing it, so I know a bit about it.

As for the noise in your image - I'm not sure as we would need to know more about how you created the HDRI and the settings in Keyshot before we can answer that. Usually when you get these things you can try increasing the samples in Keyshot, or other render settings. Increasing the gamma also helps reduce noise and image darkspots.

Hey quigley! Thanks! I'm using the Zion_cafe Hdri from the keyshot website...I've tried many others but They look all the same...Increasing the gamma helps me to get that brighter but that strange noise is still there..It looks there is something torn in some areas! So here is what I got configured for now. Thanks

That noise issue is strange. If you could send us the bip file (support@luxion.com) I'm sure we can figure it out.

Thanks!

[jonfer]

Thanks Jeff! But the bip file is about 600mb! The entire scene has over 2 milion poly. Is there any other way?

[jonfer]

Again! I got this problem only in that area =/ I'm waiting for the hdr light studio plugin to see if I can get that issue fixed...but I've never seen something like that before.
