今天，我们向全世界的 KeyShot 用户和 KeyShot 用户分享即将到来的新时代的消息。 使用 KeyShot 9，您将获得利用完整的 gpu 加速射线追踪能力的 NVIDIA RTX 与 OptiX。 我们想要分享更多关于这个决定的信息，它将如何工作，以及我们所采取的方法将使您完全控制您的渲染工作流程您可以期待什么。

A Focus on Flexibility

关注灵活性

“Luxion has evaluated GPU rendering for several years. With NVIDIA’s RTX technology, GPU-accelerated hardware ray tracing and AI denoising, gigaray performance, GPUs with over 8GB of memory, and the free OptiX SDK, now is the time to do it.” 
– Henrik Wann Jensen, Co-founder and Chief Scientist at Luxion

“ Luxion 对 GPU 渲染进行了多年的评估。 使用 NVIDIA 的 RTX 技术、 gpu 加速的硬件射线追踪和 AI 去噪、 gigaray 性能、内存超过8gb 的 gpu 以及免费的 OptiX SDK，现在正是时候这样做了。” – Henrik Wann Jensen，Luxion 联合创始人兼首席科学家

Though the addition of GPU rendering might be seen as a shift away from one rendering method in favor of another, it’s anything but. We’ve brought CPU and GPU-accelerated rendering capabilities together in such a way as to give you complete control and a choice over what powers your rendering workflow. And the implementation within KeyShot is, in a word, seamless, with the ability to switch between CPU and GPU without affecting your current workflow, requiring unexpected hardware upgrades, or forcing you to choose one rendering method over the other—it's complete flexibility to utilize the most performance whether you have multiple CPUs or multiple NVIDIA GPUs.

虽然 GPU 渲染的增加可能被看作是从一种渲染方法转向另一种渲染方法，但它绝不是。 我们将 CPU 和 gpu 加速的渲染能力结合在一起，这样您就可以完全控制和选择渲染工作流的驱动器。 总而言之，KeyShot 内部的实现是无缝的，可以在 CPU 和 GPU 之间切换，而不会影响当前的工作流程，需要意外的硬件升级，或者强迫你选择一种呈现方法而不是另一种呈现方法ーー无论使用多个 CPU 还是多个 NVIDIA GPU，它都具有充分的灵活性，可以最大限度地利用性能。

KeyShot History

关键镜头历史

Traditionally, KeyShot has been known as a stand-alone CPU-based real-time ray tracing renderer. But here are some things you may not know. First, KeyShot is the first stand-alone, real-time ray tracing software. At its core (no pun intended), KeyShot is 100% real-time—it’s not a switch or a mode. Secondly, KeyShot’s render engine is developed internally by us, Luxion. We’re not dependent on other software or hardware development. Lastly, the KeyShot render engine is based on decades of research in global illumination and lighting simulation by Luxion Co-founder and Chief Scientist, Henrik Wann Jensen. And that research continues to this day.

传统上，KeyShot 被认为是一种独立的基于 cpu 的实时射线追踪渲染器。 但是有些事情你可能不知道。 首先，KeyShot 是第一个独立的实时射线跟踪软件。 Keyshot 的核心(无双关意思)是100% 实时的ーー它不是一个开关或模式。 其次，KeyShot 的渲染引擎是我们内部开发的，Luxion。 我们不依赖其他软件或硬件开发。 最后，KeyShot 渲染引擎是基于 Luxion 联合创始人兼首席科学家 Henrik Wann Jensen 在全局光源和照明模拟方面几十年的研究。 这项研究一直持续到今天。

Since we develop KeyShot from the render engine to the interface and all the features in between, it allows us to 1) optimize for speed, quality, and accuracy and 2) reduce dependence on other hardware or software. Our focus has always been focused on providing the best experience possible, taking advantage of whatever resources are available. KeyShot is designed to run and provide brilliant results on the widest array of computers, whether Windows or Mac, desktop or laptop, with support for the widest array of 3D file formats of any 3D rendering software. This all comes together to ensure 3D professionals have the absolute most flexibility available while not compromising speed, quality, and accuracy.

由于我们开发了 KeyShot，从渲染引擎到界面以及两者之间的所有功能，它允许我们1)优化速度、质量和准确性，2)减少对其他硬件或软件的依赖。 我们的重点一直是尽可能提供最好的体验，利用任何可用的资源。 设计 KeyShot 的目的是运行和提供辉煌的结果，在最广泛的电脑阵列，无论是 Windows 或 Mac，台式机或笔记本电脑，与支持最广泛的3 d 文件格式的任何3 d 渲染软件。 这一切都是为了确保3 d 专业人员在不影响速度、质量和精确度的情况下拥有绝对最大的灵活性。

With an internally developed render engine and the in-house expertise in advanced rendering techniques and graphics hardware, we have the freedom to constantly evaluate the latest CPU or GPU technologies. So, when the question, “Why doesn’t KeyShot use the GPU?” came up in the past, the answer was simple – relying solely on the GPU would compromise the speed, quality, and accuracy of the visuals for the 3D professional. Now, with the advancements in GPU acceleration, through the real-time ray tracing capabilities provided by the NVIDIA RTX GPUs, the speed and performance exists to bring you GPU rendering capabilities in KeyShot.

内部开发的渲染引擎和先进的渲染技术和图形硬件的内部专业知识，我们有自由不断地评估最新的 CPU 或 GPU 技术。 所以，当问到“为什么 KeyShot 不使用 GPU? ” 在过去，答案很简单——仅仅依靠 GPU 会降低3D 专业人士视觉效果的速度、质量和准确性。 现在，随着 GPU 加速的进步，通过 NVIDIA RTX GPU 提供的实时射线追踪功能，速度和性能的存在，给你带来了 KeyShot 的 GPU 渲染功能。

The Best of Both Worlds

两全其美

KeyShot's GPU capability is native, out-of-the-box support for all the technological achievements provided through the NVIDIA OptiX ray tracing engine—It’s not a separate KeyShot installation, it’s not a plugin or a patch. It’s the best of both worlds, CPU and GPU together, all within the most intuitive user interface for 3D rendering  and animation. So, if you want to ask, “Does KeyShot use CPU or GPU?” Either, or. We let you make that decision.

Keyshot 的 GPU 能力是原生的，开箱即用的，支持 NVIDIA OptiX 射线追踪引擎提供的所有技术成就ーー它不是一个单独的 KeyShot 安装，也不是一个插件或补丁。 这是两个世界中最好的，CPU 和 GPU 在一起，所有在最直观的用户界面的3 d 渲染和动画。 所以，如果你想问“ KeyShot 是使用 CPU 还是 GPU? ” 要么，要么。 我们让你做这个决定。

“KeyShot was finely tuned for OptiX integration. Our development team was able to quickly show KeyShot with GPU acceleration and where performance could be gained, which further convinced us to move forward with support for NVIDIA RTX.”
– Claus Wann Jensen, Co-founder and CEO at Luxion

“ KeyShot 针对 OptiX 集成进行了精细的调整。 我们的开发团队能够快速显示带有 GPU 加速的 KeyShot，并在哪里可以获得性能，这进一步说服我们继续支持 NVIDIA RTX。” – Claus Wann Jensen，Luxion 联合创始人兼首席执行官
