Case Study: LIZ KIRBY ART achieves rapid, reliable lighting and material studies with KeyShot

LIZ KIRBY ART - Customer Case Study

Liz Kirby, an Environment Artist at 343 Industries (makers of the Halo franchise), needed a fast, reliable way to iterate on lighting, materials and realistic textures while working on complex game environments. Long render setups and slow test renders were slowing her workflow and making it harder to catch scene issues early in the pipeline.

By integrating KeyShot into her rendering process, Kirby was able to run quick lighting and material studies, use material IDs and passes like the clown pass for easier post-processing, and validate scenes in seconds rather than waiting hours for test renders. The result was a more efficient, predictable pipeline with higher-quality visuals, faster iteration, and clearer handoffs for final production.
