Case Study: Art of Jerod Bogh achieves faster iteration and inspired lighting with KeyShot

Art of Jerod Bogh - Customer Case Study

Jerod Bogh is a Portland‑based lead character artist and ZBrush sculptor who cut his teeth at Hive‑FX working on series like Grimm. Faced with the need to quickly iterate creature designs, validate forms early in the process, and present realistic visuals to clients, Jerod struggled with slow, traditional render workflows that hindered experimentation and timely approvals.

Adopting KeyShot transformed his pipeline: he now brings rough sculpts into KeyShot early to test lighting, camera, materials and composition in real time, then uses those insights to refine models back in ZBrush. The result is faster iteration, more creative “happy accidents,” clearer client communication via high‑quality renders and interactive KeyShotVR turntables, and a smoother path from concept to final beauty shots.
