Whichever workflow you pick will depend on your circumstances, but either way you'll get incredible lighting, materials and camera tools to help bring your models to life.

Setting up the cameras is one of the most important parts of any 3D artist's workflow. To get the best results, it requires creativity, technical knowledge, and mastery over the software. Thankfully, KeyShot does an incredible job of making the process as straightforward as possible while still providing more advanced tools like depth of field functionality.

Many camera shots are defined as cinematic because of their stylised colour grading or inclusion of film noise. Post- production effects like this are outside the scope of this Q&A, but that doesn't mean there isn't a huge amount that we can achieve in-camera with KeyShot.

When using KeyShot, we're able to position our cameras in specific ways that communicate a narrative, as well as introduce lens effects and depth of field bokeh to images. The importance of the position of the camera is often overlooked or undervalued in the pursuit of storytelling, but it's vitally important.
