KeyShot with NX??
KeyShot with NX??
(OP)
Hello
Do you know how to use the Keyshot renderer from within NX?
At Keyshot website you can find plugins to integrate it to Solidworks and other CAD but it says that you don't need any plugin for NX.
I've installed it but I cannot see any new menu nor option in NX 8.

And of course, you can also acquire additional material rendering libraries directly from the organization which developed the toolkits which we've used to create the NX Rendering package.

A plugin , is to me, a piece of code that runs inside another program, which Keyshot doesn't do with NX but a few others.

Toost is correct. You simply open the native NX files inside KeyShot. We support also other formats natively - see the full list here: http://keyshot.com/tech-specs/
We haven't developed a plugin for NX yet due to Siemens bureaucracy which makes it extremely difficult for us to become a partner. But we are getting there.
The idea of the plugin is that you put a button inside of NX (we have done so with Pro/E, CREO, SolidWorks and others). Upon the push of the button the plugin will take the currently displayed part(s) and assembly, open KeyShot, and import the data.
Comparing KeyShot to rendering inside NX - well, you really can't. NX's rendering tools don't have the speed, ease of use, and quality that KeyShot offers. I am speaking from experience, having managed the product in 2003/04 while working at UGS.
KeyShot is becoming the rendering tool of choice for many NX users. Our customer of the month is Formation Design (a flagship company that Siemens likes to use for ID) who has been using NX and KeyShot for several years, and are extremely happy with it.

I hope this helps.
