i guess it was lost in translation. i tried blender again, after i made this thread. i also tried it in the past. for everyone saying switch from keyshot to blender, that takes a level of skill i don't have or a level of time i'm not willing to put in.

once i get a new laptop, i think the new keyshot will work better. after keyshot 7 the ui will not work with a 1366x768 screen size. at least for me it won't.

i appreciate the suggestions. i'm going to stick with keyshot.
