      Additional Resources

      Resources added from https://www.keyshot.com/resources/downloads/assets/ can be found in the corresponding folders.


      For example, using the default folder locations, Textures from Polygon would be added to the C:\Users\Documents\KeyShot\Colors folder on a Windows machine.


      On a MacOS, they can be found at Library/Application Support/KeyShot/Textures.
