We have been busy!
This new update brings significant improvements to the appearance of frosted glass and environment reflections of shiny, rough materials.
In addition, we made a number of improvements (aka fixed a number of outstanding bugs).
And, as always, we made it even faster.
This update is free to all KeyShot 2 customers.

New Features
•Added "sharp glossy reflections" to the environment option:
This will no longer blur the environment when working with small roughness values on reflective materials.
•Added "glossy reflections" to metallic paint:
The roughness value will now have an effect when viewed at grazing angles.
•Improved appearance of glossy transmission at grazing angles:
Transparent objects with roughness will look correct when viewed at grazing angles.
•Added "Roughness Transmission" to the Advanced Material (advanced mode only):
This will help in creating "milky plastic materials".
•Copy and paste materials directly inside a material group inside the Material Library.
•Edit materials directly inside the Material Library without the need to apply to an object first
•Rename materials directly inside the Material Library
•Removed "Keep aspect ratio" from render dialog and respect the realtime aspect ratio
•The DPI setting is now remembered in between sessions
•Installers now support unattended uninstall.
•Added progress bar when saving a scene.
•Made the activation dialog input more user friendly:
This will simplify the process of re-activating the license on a different machine.
•Display will not turn off during lengthy renderings without any user interaction
Improvements
•Significantly improved ground shadow quality when using offline rendering even at default settings
•Fixed potential crash when saving files after deleting or hiding parts
•Fixed potential data explosion when using plugins
•Fixed potential crash upon exiting KeyShot
•Fixed potential crash when applying or editing labels
•Improvements to IGES ad STEP translators
•Rotate imported files by 90 degrees upon import
•Improved support for foreign characters in file names
•Limit "Roughness" slider to 0.5
•Use proper render output folder
•Keep rendering window open for 60 seconds after rendering is done
•Options dialog and library are dynamically placed when the work area or number of screens change
•"Realtime shadow quality" setting is saved in bip files
•Show serial code in "About" window
•Added warning when program is less than 10 days from expiration
