Keyshot ships with a range of background images that have matching HDR lights.  These lights help the objects look as though they belong in the scene (as you can see above).  <\/p>\n<p>Sadly Keyshot is aimed at engineers and commercial product-photography people, rather than hobbyists, and so costs $1,000.  Which does at least mean it&#8217;s blissfully simply to use, and can be fully learned in an hour.  This is because it&#8217;s designed for those who are unfamiliar with 3D software, and who run screaming from the ludicrous interface complexities of software such as Blender.  But the cost of Keyshot will put off many.  It&#8217;ll cost even more, if you want an add-on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hdrlightstudio.com\/keyshot.htm\">HDR Light Studio<\/a> pipeline (the latest version of this can apparently make a matching HDR from any background that you feed it).  <\/p>\n<p>Still&#8230; Keyshot is certainly one to consider, if you&#8217;re looking for a tax write-off and you want an alternative render engine for still images of Poser figures.  Just keep in mind that you&#8217;ll need to fix eyes and eyelashes on Poser faces after import, and that Keyshot only ships with one skin material that takes ages to render.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A very cool set of Poser \/ Keyshot renders by David Constantine&#8230; The workflow is&#8230; 1.
