You’re not going to get it 100% right in Keyshot. You’ll likely need to add textures, adjust highlights/shadows, add reflections, and more in Photoshop afterward.
Just going to throw this into the mix regarding smartphone ID… this is a GPS, but still, 95% screen on the front, thin edge, blank back. This is pretty well done, in my opinion: https://www.behance.net/gallery/48680889/Garmin-DriveLuxe
Thanks for that, and yes, I see your point on perhaps exploring form and adding texture in photoshop. I played around with contrast and sharpness in Photoshop, but that is about it. I’m taking it to the next level for my next project.

May I ask how to create more realistic renderings of materials in Keyshot? I really played around with the materials, the standard ones and some of the ones from the cloud, and played with the texture sizes… And to be honest I think they look realistic in my renderings, could you point out how they don’t look real to you and how I can improve them?
Your renders are not bad at all. I think it’s just that maybe they can pop a little more
For sure, in order to make a Keyshot render pop, Photoshop is almost definitely necessary.
Another thing to keep in mind is the lighting within Keyshot and playing with depth of field.
I had a few minutes during lunch so I took the liberty of seeing what I could do with the render you provided.
Thsi can definitally be waaaaaay improved and to get really good results, you would probably have to re-render it with different lighting and then edit a high-res version.
I completely see what you are saying now. Your rendering is less contrasty and more descriptive with a lot bigger range of values. Thank you so much bepster, I really really appreciate the incite, and thank you for taking a few and working an example out.
