08:00am I’m brewing green tea and checking my email. The majority of my company is based in Stockholm, so with a nine-hour time difference, the start of my day is the end of everyone else’s. This is also a good time for me to catch my Swedish colleagues before they go home, so I often have meetings first thing in the morning. This sets the tone for the rest of my day.

HOW DO I MASTER MATERIALS IN KEYSHOT?
One of the best things about KeyShot is its ability to create and render realistic materials. When paired with beautiful lighting, product visualisations take on a whole new level of believability. When it comes to materials, KeyShot isn’t quite as advanced as some other rendering packages, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still able to create some killer materials.
