In the KeyShot Studio Library’s Material tab you can find a number of material presets, that you can apply to your model.
The material presets you see are all created using a KeyShot Studio Material Type. Each library material has been designed to be easy to use with as few parameters as needed. For example, the Metal library materials use the Metal material type and will only display the parameters needed for metal materials. Likewise, the Plastic library materials use the Plastic material type will have only the parameters needed for plastic materials.
