?? The latest KeyShot Studio update includes new Planar Lights and upgraded light positioning -- check it out! ??Planar Lights for easy-to-use softbox lighting?? Specifically designed to represent the softboxes real-life photographers use,?Planar Lights include barndoors similar to physical softboxes. The dimensions and shutter angles of the barndoors can be easily adjusted, meaning you can?reproduce common lighting setups from real-life photography faster and more easily. ??New fast and simple light positioning? The latest version of Studio features a brand-new light positioning tool that allows users to easily place and orient physical lights without having to rely on the 3D move tool. Now, you can simply drag your mouse across the 2D rendered image in the realtime view to focus a physical light on the spot you’re hovering over until you are happy with the look. You can also scroll the mouse wheel to move the physical light closer to their product or push it farther out. ??
