KeyShot V2.1

[Ralf]

SIGGRAPH 2010
We will preview KeyShot 2.1 which brings a new face to realtime rendering.

It has a long list of breakthrough features including:
Fully interactive subsurface scattering for rendering natural materials such as human skin
Use multiple computers for realtime rendering
Utilize any graphics card for additional realtime rendering effects

So is KeyShot getting the same treatment as Vray provides in Bunkspeed Shot; i.e, will it use both available processor cores and and GPU's?

If so, I knew that I should have started saving up for the soon-to-be-upgraded Mac Pro.

KeyShot uses all available processors and cores.
Important: Multi Physical CPU support.

With the coming up version 2.1:
Use multiple computers for realtime rendering
Utilize any graphics card for additional realtime rendering effects

KeyShot -> PC and (i)MAC versions are available.

Some Windows versions only supports ONE Physical Processor!
