Chose KeyShot
The rendering capability with SolidWorks PhotoWorks is pretty good but takes time to learn and is a little cumbersome compared to KeyShot. KeyShot offers a SolidWorks plug-in that works great allowing the user to export models directly from SolidWorks to KeyShot.

Chose KeyShot
Keyshot is simpler and more intuitive compared to Octane. That being said, Octane is far less expensive and can take advantage of a GPU making it more versatile.

Keyshot is great for quick renders and its ability to make changes for a fast production pipeline. Since I primarily use it for concept art and making environments, it is not the best when handling larger scenes as it will take a toll on the CPU.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • Keyshot is very expensive compared to other software that could potentially do the same thing at a fraction of the cost.
  • Keyshot does not rely on GPU rendering so relying on a fast CPU is key.
  • You are not able to modify geometry like a standard 3D software.

Honestly, I've only needed customer support a couple of times. One time was a question about licensing which their customer service explained very well and offered just the help I was looking for
