It was enough to learn basic of keyshot as a beginner. Explained basic interface without deep or details explanation.

Thank you for offering this brief course. It was a good overview of Keyshot features and what you can do with it. The audio volume was low.

Just finished my Introdutcion to Zbrush course and this is just what I needed, now I have to figure out how to set up and import my models from Zbrush to Keyshot. 10/10 Would recommend
By John Sutherland on 5/15/2019
This course was more of a showcase than an introduction to Keyshot. That being said, for a free course, this was great. Definitely something anyone considering using Keyshot should watch before making that commitment.
By Larry McCauley on 4/4/2019
Does exactly what it says on the tin. I wanted a simple introduction to Keyshot. This is it, plus it's free. What's not to like?
By Ben Martinek on 1/28/2019
Interesting to see and somewhere to start, but it was repetive, he could have tried multiple selections for instance, it would have been nice to dicuss altering materials (colors) adding texture. But for free and if you've never had experience with rendering it was nice to have. Thanks!
By Anchit Kawaatra on 4/1/2017
It was alright. I mean you cant expect much for a free course but was looking forward to some new techniques or something for beginning. The introduction videos on Keyshot website were much more informative.
By Shivani Torres on 2/21/2017
This course was a good basic overview. However I wish it would have gone over how to get import/sample materials into keyshot which are not presets. Currently I feel limited by the presets and would love to expand the material selection to suit my needs
