Animating with KeyShot and Solid Edge ST7

Rendering and animating in Solid Edge has never been easier thanks to the complete integration of KeyShot into Solid Edge ST7. Solid Edge has always had descent rendering, but it was graphic card based; however, the application could be slow when rendering especially when animating high end renders which could takes a few days create.

Animating and rendering your CAD models with Solid Edge takes a fraction of the time utilizing a blazing fast CPU rendering engine of KeyShot. Though, using KeyShot alone lacks the finesse of Solid Edge’s animation abilities. Thanks to the integration of the two software applications, designers now have an extremely fast and an easy to animate tool!

Swoosh Technologies’ Application Engineer, Dylan Malek, walks you through creating an animation in utilizing this new integration in Solid Edge ST7 and KeyShot 5. Learn how to create new motors, apply color and textures to renders, and more in the video below.

KeyShot Animation for 3D Models

KeyShot allows users to animate 3D models quickly and easily.  Models will be ready for presentations or assembly instructions in minutes. Keyshot does not rely on keyframes, but rather allows users to apply transforms (rotations, translations, etc) to set up new animations at the click of a button.
