IronCAD Offers Affordable KeyShot Working Direct With Its Product To Customers
Irvine, California and Atlanta, Georgia February 04, 2014 – IronCAD, LLC, the leading provider of design productivity solutions with Luxion, makers of KeyShot® and a leading developer of advanced rendering and lighting technology announced the availability of "KeyShot for IronCAD" to the IronCAD customer community. This offering provides IronCAD customers access to KeyShot's quick, easy, and amazing rendering capabilities that work directly with the IronCAD products at an affordable price.
"KeyShot for IronCAD" enables users to create 3D models quickly and then at a push of a button, generate stunning visuals for communication and collaboration. Using Luxion's LiveLinking™ technology, IronCAD users create new product designs and then work with them directly in KeyShot while maintaining assembly structure and model appearance. During the design process, users can update and make changes from within the IronCAD interface and have these changes automatically reflected in the rendered image. The changed geometry uses previous applied KeyShot materials allowing new images to be created with ease.
"KeyShot is a great application for creating amazing visual representations of 3D models quickly with very little training or expertise in rendering," commented Cary O'Connor, V.P Marketing at IronCAD. "Offering an affordable low cost version of KeyShot to our IronCAD customers was a logical step to provide a wide variety of tools to meet their customers' expectations when communicating concepts, bids, or final marketing collateral," he continued.
"We are very excited about this partnership," says Thomas Teger, VP of Products and Strategy at Luxion. "KeyShot for IronCAD not only gives IronCAD users a powerful toolset for creating amazing images from their designs in minutes, but also gives them access to our ever growing community to get help, share ideas and resources, or simply enjoy the great images other KeyShot users are creating. This new way of integrating and delivering an established rendering solution is fundamentally new. IronCAD are amongst the first to realize and deliver upon this," he continued.
"KeyShot for IronCAD" runs on the recent released IronCAD 2014 Server Patch 1 with all the IronCAD products and offers customers a fully functional 30-day evaluation. Beyond the evaluation, users can buy the full version or continue to use "KeyShot for IronCAD" in a limited version to test concepts and capabilities.
"KeyShot for IronCAD" is available immediately to all IronCAD customers from http://www.ironcad.com/product-updates. Contact IronCAD or your local reseller for details on pricing.
