solidThinking, Inc., a leading provider of industrial design software, with Luxion, Inc., developer of KeyShot, a prominent real-time rendering and global illumination application, announced the availability of LiveLinking, a complete integration between solidThinking Evolve and KeyShot.

This new integration allows users to generate photographic images and animations of their designs quickly and easily. LiveLinking enables continuous updates to KeyShot scenes directly from Evolve, speeding up the design process and eliminating the rework associated with design changes.

In solidThinking Evolve, users are able to explore styling and design solutions with the freedom of organic surfaces and parametric, history-based solids. Now, with a single click, users can export the model directly from Evolve into KeyShot. In KeyShot, users may apply scientifically accurate materials, real-world lighting, and animations to the model through simple drag-and-drop operations while seeing the results in real-time.

With this integration, changes to the model in Evolve will automatically update the geometry in KeyShot without the need to re-apply materials, lighting, animations, or camera views. This eliminates rework, streamlining the workflow and freeing up time for more creative tasks.

LiveLinking integration between solidThinking Evolve and KeyShot allows faster creation of 3D visuals.

“The integration of LiveLinking with Evolve is extremely valuable to our customers who use KeyShot,” said Darren Chilton, Program Manager, solidThinking. “The LiveLinking feature allows our users to work more efficiently and increase their productivity.”

“Evolve and KeyShot complement each other beautifully,” said Thomas Teger, Vice President of Products and Strategy at Luxion. “Both may be used on either Mac or PC, and both harness a design workflow that enables faster creation of 3D visuals from design conceptualization through manufacturing, including the development of imagery for sales and marketing.”
