Configurator

The KeyShot Configurator is a feature available in KeyShot Pro for presenting model and material variations in real-time for design reviews and interactive point-of-sale displays. 

KeyShot Configurator Wizard

The  Configurator Wizard can be accessed from the Ribbon. If it is not immediately visible there, right click on the ribbon and enable it.
The Wizard guides your through the setup of Parent Models, Components, and their relationships. You can also define Material Variations and Material Ways to set up relationships between materials within Multi-Materials. The wizard also lets you add Studios to have preset camera angles and environments, and finally it gives you an option to customize the layout.

Tip

For the fastest result use the touch-friendly presentation mode in CPU-mode.
