This tutorial assumes basic KeyShot knowledge including materials and the Material Graph. Some familiarity with KeyShot Animation is helpful but not required.
Problem

LEDs are everywhere!

LEDs show up on a huge range of products — consumer electronics, medical devices, industrial equipment, wearables. Rendering them convincingly is one thing. Animating them so they actually blink, pulse, or glow in sequence is another challenge entirely.

This tutorial covers exactly that. In under an hour you'll have two working approaches to animated LEDs in KeyShot that you can adapt to your own projects.

What you'll learn

What This Course Covers

Starting from an imported model, you'll work through applying materials, setting up basic lighting, and creating glowing LED materials. From there the tutorial walks through two distinct approaches to animating the LEDs using KeyShot's animation tools and Material Graph.

As a bonus, you'll learn how to set up a KeyShot Studio for each animation so you can switch between them seamlessly and make revisions without disrupting your scene.

The tutorial video is recorded at 2560x1440 resolution with a runtime of approximately 47 minutes. The pace is deliberate — the goal is to explain how everything works rather than just telling you what to click.

Meet your KeyShot instructor

Hey, I'm Will. My first 3D rendering, back in college, looked like trash... but I was instantly hooked. I spent years figuring it out the hard way: freelancing, hanging around online forums, and slowly getting good enough that Luxion (the makers of KeyShot) hired me to teach it full-time. I spent three years training design and engineering teams at companies like Apple, Tesla, and Intel.

Since then I've started my own visualization studio and taught thousands of students through my courses. I built this one to give you the shortcut I never had — the real techniques and workflows, without the years of trial and error it took me to find them.

How long do I get access to the course for?

As of now, all my courses are lifetime access. Pay once. Use forever. If I choose to no longer offer the course, you'll be notified and given the opportunity to download the content so you can continue to use it.

Do I need a powerful computer?

A more powerful machine always helps. For minimum system requirements, refer to KeyShot's website.

Do I need a background in film or photography?

Not at all. The course includes lessons on composing strong images and animations, studying great work, and improving your own output.

Can I download the video lessons?

Not at this time — this is a platform limitation.

Can I get a receipt or invoice to expense this purchase?

Yes. Instructions are included in the files and downloads section of the course.

Is there a payment plan?

Not at this time. I've priced the course as low as I can without undervaluing the content. If it's out of reach right now, my free content — YouTube, website, and newsletter — can help build your skills and earning power in the meantime. The course will be here when you're ready.

Are there student discounts?

No. Everyone taking this course is a student. At this price point, it's a fraction of the cost of formal education. If you're serious about building skills as a student, consider this an alternative to a college course.

Can our studio or team share the course?

The license is for individual use. For team or corporate access, email will@willgibbons.com to discuss bulk pricing.

Do I get updates if you improve the course?

Yes. Lifetime access includes all future updates at no additional cost.

What if I don't have time to finish?

You have lifetime access. The average lesson is under 4 minutes — shorter than a song. Watch on your phone, download for offline viewing, or fit it into a lunch break. 15–20 minutes daily is enough. Consistency beats intensity.

How long will I have access to the course?

You'll have access for as long as the course is online.

How long will I have access to the course?
