Render KeyShot scenes on Deadline Cloud

The keyshot_standalone job bundle is a Windows KeyShot job bundle that renders a scene with each frame as a separate task. The bundle accepts the following job parameters:

  • KeyShotFile

  • Frames

  • OutputName

  • OutputDirectoryPath

  • OutputFormat

Output file paths follow the pattern OutputDirectoryPath/OutputName.frame.extension. All other render settings come from the scene file itself.

The bundle expects one of the following:

  • An input directory that contains all file references required to render. The simplest way to create one is to save the entire scene as a KeyShot package (.ksp), which bundles external files and converts paths to relative. Open the .ksp and submit the unpacked directory as the input directory, with the modified scene as the input KeyShot file.

  • All referenced files available through network storage or another method that isn't job attachments.

To run this bundle, your queue needs KeyShot available through a queue environment. The keyshot-2025 conda recipe in the samples repository builds a KeyShot conda package you can publish to your queue's S3 conda channel.
