With the HDR Light Studio, users can create entirely new tonal ranges and better adjust the source-based lighting using real-time, out-of-the-box.
**HDRI Switch.** By the time of the release of KeyShot 6.0, HDRI switches had become significantly more popular. The HDR Light Studio was updated to HDRI switches instead of HSLs. This change was made to accommodate users using multiple switches and sizes.
**New Compression Method.** KeyShot 6.0 includes a new method to compress HDRI-based lights. The most notable advantage of this new method is that it provides much better results when used with very small sized HDRI-based lights. This was made possible because the new compression method creates light maps from the original HDRI files that use significantly less file space.
**Better Support.** The HDR Light Studio was redesigned in KeyShot 6.0 to offer improved support for a larger variety of HDRI-based lights and light maps. With the added support, users can control light maps based on different parameters.
**Export Light Maps.** KeyShot 6.0 is the first major version of KeyShot to include the option to export light maps. This allows users to export light maps as separate HDR-based images.
**Support for Multiple Light Sources.** KeyShot 6.0 includes support for light sources that consist of several light bulbs in different sizes and orientations. In addition to light bulbs, KeyShot 6.0 also allows users to import light maps that have been made using light sources that have a solid shape.
**Better Support for Specify Light.** In KeyShot 6.0, users can easily control their lights by pressing on the specify light feature. The specify light feature provides additional information about each light by showing the light source name, the light's color temperature, and how the color temperature is distributed on the light's surface.
**UI Changes.** As with all major releases, the new KeyShot 6.0 features a completely new UI design. To help users easily navigate and use the new features, KeyShot 6.0 includes:
- A new color scheme that provides more contrast between the foreground and the background.
- More intuitive controls that allow users to easily navigate the interface.
- New animations to indicate the status of each light.
- A new splash screen that provides
