Just wanted to show you guys how ridiculously well KeyShot 4 is handling translucent plastics (polyamides, acetals...).

In both images the part (a fixing clip) has the exact same material applied.
In the second image I placed small spheres with area lights underneath the clip. Finally we can simulate LED's behind those milky plastics! ;)

Variation of the same clip.
Also, I used the filletting feature of KS4 to slightly soften hard edges.

That's a very nice Nylon material - care to share your settings for that? I'd find it very useful indeed.
Thanks

This is the equivalent KS3 scene and material. Exact same settings, size etc.
By putting both KS3 and KS4 images next to eachother, it's quite noticeable how much the translucent material has improved: no more black contour edges, better diffusion of light...

Well if this doesn't sell KS4, I don't know what will.

Awesome stuff Dries & KS-team !

Shame I can't realy join the b..

So as I was saying:

... the beta testing.  Darn company IT-rules ... (I would need the IT-guy to come over to install every single beta update.  It's hard enough getting him to install the KS3 updates already)

Very nice indeed! Thanks for the KSP file too, Dries.  :)

Beautiful... I would be grateful if you could share the KS4 scene - to get an idea of light placement and intensity etc  :)

Cheers

KS4 scene has exactly the same lighting. :)
Same HDRI, same environment settings, no pins, no local lights.
