Bunkspeed Shot (initially launched as HyperShot before a historic licensing split in 2010) revolutionized 3D design by introducing real-time, interactive ray tracing to product designers and CAD engineers who had no prior rendering expertise. After the split, HyperShot’s original code became Luxion KeyShot, while Bunkspeed built “Shot” on NVIDIA Iray, which was later acquired by Dassault Systèmes and rebranded into what is known today as SOLIDWORKS Visualize.
Compared to modern production renderers, the entire philosophy, hardware utilization, and technological foundation of rendering have fundamentally shifted.
