You probably have the most practical guides out there, short and straight to the point, other guides makes me want to rip my pants when they start talking "you can find this option in 10 places in 10 ways AND i'll show you each and every one of them!" If others would made this it'll be 30~40 mins
FOR keyshot 9 pro. To activate the experimental features, just open the ks9settings.xml from the resources ( C/User/User/ document/keyshot9) folder with a notepad. Then search(CTRL+F) for "experimental" and change the value from false to true. () after that save that file.close it. Then start KeyShot. after that just open material graph- right click open utilities - there u go, surface backside mask. is available. ( Don't have to open Preferences, automatically added). hope tht help.
Hi Esben, I have a quick question with you: I'm currently using KeyShot 11, but I can't find the "Surface backside mask". I've also tried to find the "Experimental features" on "Preferences", but I couldn't find it either. Do you have any advice on how to activate it? Great video by the way 👍 Thanks!
Hi @@WillGibbons , I've looked everywhere and can't find it. There doesn't seem to be any "Experimental Features" option in the preferences. Is this kind of utility under a different name now? Or is there a different way to achieve it? Thanks!!
Solved it. Look for the file KS11Settings.xml in the resources folder. Find the line where it says "experimental" and change "false" to "true". I've found it sometimes defaults to false again so I have to do it one more time.
Hi Esben, thanks for the great vids, when you click on the utility on the material graph (single click) it turns red, what are you doing here, you describe it as grade it? im using keyshot 7.2 but it doesnt turn red?
That's the 'preview' function. I guess. It doesn't work just by clicking, you have to press C(color) or A(alpha) or B(bump) on your keyboard. Or you can click the right on your mouse and find you want.
Ha, yeah, I can hear that my pronunciation isn't too good here. I think I try to say 'create it'. I hit 'C' on the keyboard to show the preview. Should definitely have mentioned that.

Esben, there are no 7.0 keys in the preferences menu there is no "experimental features". I can not make the metallized transparency of the lens. Can you tell me how to do it?
Hi,Esben,I have a question. I can't find "Advance" in "Referance" of Keyshot 8.2 Pro, so I cant't use "surface backside mask" note like you. But when I add a metal label on the glasses and link a black color texture to the color channel, the glass can also realise the polarized effect. It's obscure. Could you please explain it for me ?
hii esben .... will you please tell me how to get surface backside mask in keyshot7 as its the experimental feature option in preferences is not available...
FOR keyshot 9 or else pro. To activate the experimental features, just open the ks9settings.xml from the resources ( C/User/User/ document/keyshot9) folder with a notepad.

Hi Esben, seems to be a bad question, but I need to know that: how to do achive to get a image seen in the mirrored lens? I did not succeed to manage this in keyshot. Could you give me a short advice how to do that? thanks and keep on rockin' - once more another great tutorial!
Yes using as an HDRI was also my way to make it work, gut in your Scene you have a black backgroundcolor and the HDRI only can be seen in the mirrored lenses. This is what I don't know how to do it.
Ah! In the environment tab under the 'background' section, you can change from 'lighting environment' to 'color' and chose a solid color. Can you find it?
Good morning Esben, I found it and it's the way I usually use it for my renderings. What I didn't know is how to use an image for reflection and not to be seen in scene. So I tested it out, my way would be to import an image or an HDRI-image into the HDRI-Editor. But right now I'm not really satisfied with the first results as the image looks very distorted. Is there another way to do that? Maybe with material manager or using it as a label? who knows... :-)

Hey, it's been moved to the General tab in preferences. It should be there.

Hi Brevman. If I understand you question correctly, then you'll need to use an interior HDRI as the environment.
Does that help?
Yes using as an HDRI was also my way to make it work, gut in your Scene you have a black backgroundcolor and the HDRI only can be seen in the mirrored lenses. This is what I don't know how to do it.

Can you find it?
