Everyone loves a juicy product rendering! But who has time to learn the finer points of the software to really make that image shine? While there are plenty of basic or beginner KeyShot tutorials out there, few take the time to address all the tools or how to finish an image to the professional level... which is exactly why I made this course.
When it comes to building competency, quality learning material is key. KeyShot Masterclass customers include designers, engineers and other creatives from more than 100 companies from around the world including:
When I created my first 3D rendering in college, my mind was blown. It may have looked like trash, but the fact that I could drag and drop realistic-looking materials onto my CAD models was exciting.
Sure, I had a lot to learn, but it was just a matter of figuring out how to navigate the software. A few years later, I began freelancing full-time, and decided to really focus improving my rendering skills.
After countless hours of practice, becoming active in online forums and selling rendering services to my clients, I became comfortable and even began making KeyShot tutorials on YouTube. These tutorials got noticed and I was offered a position as a Global Training Specialist for Luxion, the makers of KeyShot.
I spent 3 years traveling the world teaching KeyShot to design and engineering teams from some of today's most recognized and respected brands.
Eventually, I left Luxion to start my own small product visualization studio, where I create renderings and animations for my own clients.
I'm fortunate to have found a way to earn a living doing something I love and I want to help as many people achieve that as well. Whether you're a student, freelancing on the side or are a professional with an employer, this course was made for you.
I've used KeyShot for more than 10 years now, and I built this course to fast-track your learning. My goal when I decided to build this course was to make it so good, it would take you from beginner to a professional-level of competency.
And if you're self-taught in KeyShot, then this course will help fill those knowledge gaps and improve your habits and workflows.
I think the KeyShot Rendering Masterclass is awesome, but of course, I'm biased. So here are some testimonials from those who've invested in their learning and worked through this course.
"Excellent and for anyone considering this, Will is one of the true heavy hitters in the industry. If you are looking to improve your skills and more importantly, your understanding of KeyShot and how to get it to deliver better results, this is going to be an excellent investment."
"Great course, helping me to refresh and systematize knowledge of KeyShot. Perfect density of information in each topic and speed of presenting. (one of few courses which you don’t need to watch on 1.25x :D) Thoughtful structure and working tips, clearly based on personal experience of Will, - make it truly helpful and enjoyable!"
I would strongly recommend anyone like me who has a good familiarity with the software but never really dived deep into visualization to try the course. I'm surprised by how much I wasn't taking advantage of within KeyShot, despite working professionally as an industrial designer.
This course, is in my opinion the best resource you can get for learning and improving your rendering skills with KeyShot. It's professional and easy to follow!
Love the use of feature based lessons followed by projects, really helps you apply and consolidate what you learn!
"I was hooked on Keyshot the minute I saw it. I looked for courses to learn it and was lucky to find Will Gibbons master course. Sooo easy to follow."
"Until now I taught myself KeyShot. The course has taught me lots of neat things and I'm not even finished yet. The lessons are presented and paced perfectly. I just wish I had purchased it years ago. It's worth every penny if you want to improve your rendering skills."
"The course was really well laid out and very easy to follow along. It was great to see the process from start to finish! In particular the studio set ups was the key takeaway for me. It'll save me so much time in the future and make my workflow far more professional!"
"I was thrust into using KeyShot at a new job with zero training. The Masterclass took my limited knowledge to the next level. I refer constantly to areas of the course when challenged with new designs. Great investment in my training."
"The KeyShot rendering masterclass helped me land my first job as an industrial designer. There is no doubt that this course is worth every penny. Immediately following the class, my rendering skills went from 1/10 to 8/10, something that you won't learn in any design school."
"You know I really love the both instructional and in action part of the class. Also I love the long videos, I appreciate you didn’t trim them or leave it up to interpretation, when you learning something valuable you’ll dedicate all the time it needs."
"Will is well spoken and moves through the material at a good pace. The combination of FBL and PBL is a great way to learn because it allows you to understand the potential of the tools and then apply them in a practical scenario. For those looking to level up their renderings, this course is a great investment!"

I'm sharing this to show that regardless of your skills, you can improve drastically. In the beginning, I was NOT good at this. Think of KeyShot Rendering Masterclass as your personal shortcut.
I'm confident in saying that this is the most comprehensive step-by-step course available on how to use KeyShot. And thanks to the unique format, I think it's the only one like it.
Most tutorials are either feature-based or project-based and both come with pros and cons.
Feature-based tutorials cover all the tools and features thoroughly but are often boring. Project-based tutorials guide you to a specific result, but don't address all the tools and features.
I wanted the benefits of both approaches, so I decided to create a library of feature-based courses as well as a project-based component. After learning about some of the features, we'll begin a project and you'll join me as I create 4 portfolio-ready images. This way, you'll have a direct application of the knowledge gained in the feature-based lessons.
About a year ago, I bought a Google Home Mini and disassembled it to create a completely accurate 3D model of it, down to the millimeter. I finished the model in painstaking detail, down to the smallest internal PCB components and wires. My plan was to use this model to create another personal portfolio piece.
When I decided to create this KeyShot course, I wanted to include a 3D model for the project-based lessons that wasn't overly basic or boring, like so many other tutorials. So, I decided to include the model I spent nearly a year making in my spare time. Not only will you have the model to learn from, but you can use it in any way, personal or commercial without any restrictions (as long as you don't sell it).
