Tired of rendering black plastic that looks boring and flat? In this KeyShot tutorial, I’ll walk you through my entire process for creating a highly detailed and realistic plastic material from scratch. I won't just tell you what to do - I’ll explain the "why" behind each step so you can learn to build amazing materials on your own.

You’ll see how to master the Material Graph in KeyShot to create a fully procedural plastic texture. We'll cover everything from adding a simple bump to layering on advanced details like subtle scratches, dust particles, and variable roughness. This is a must-watch for anyone doing product design in KeyShot or looking to level up their product rendering.

Whether you’re working on a personal project or a professional one, this video will show you how to take your Keyshot plastic from basic to photorealistic.
