Material Fade Reference Studio
Compatible with KeyShot 2026 and later
In this Material Fade Reference Studio, we look at how to utilise the Curve Fade animation tool along with Gradient textures and colour composites to produce a dynamic transition between materials that can be modified to work with a wide variety of styles.
The scene comes loaded with two studios - one to demonstrate the basic effect and one with the looping animation shown here. Within the animation, there are three separate effects: Dipped glaze, wood growth and 3D print.
Like all our reference studios, the scene is also accompanied by a video walkthrough to help you understand how the file works and why we made certain choices. The material file is also included with this scene for you to add to your library.

Lightroom Presets
- This is a KeyShot 2026 package. You will need KeyShot version 2026 and above to open the file.
- We advise using RTX graphics cards (ideally RTX 4060 and above) rendering in GPU mode as a minimum to run our Interior files. 4070 and above recommended for smoother performance and reasonable render times. Please check the Specification tab above and make sure your GPU has enough memory (VRAM) to open the scene.
- Our Studio scenes are much lighter to run and can be operated smoothly in both CPU and GPU mode, although GPU is still strongly recommended.
- Our resources are mastered in GPU mode. You may see different results in lighting and materials when rendering in CPU mode. Although, the disparity between them has decreased since the launch of GPU mode in KS9.
- Promotional images have been post-processed in Adobe Lightroom Classic using the included presets.
