Introduction to The Foundry Katana 7.0v3

The Foundry Katana 7.0v3 is a powerful software offering a highly efficient and collaborative approach to look development and lighting for CG-rendering projects. With its creative scope and scalability, Katana is designed to meet the needs of today's most demanding CG-rendering projects.

Overview

Katana now features a modern viewport powered by Pixar's USD Hydra technology, making it perfect for rendering massively complex scenes. The Hydra viewport, combined with Katana's Viewer API, allows artists to load huge scenes and view significant portions of their work with smooth interaction. The addition of artist-friendly transform handles and a rich API for custom object drawings and manipulators enhances the user experience, making it a game-changer for Katana artists.

Furthermore, the updated UI design, new transform tools, and improved information processing make it easier for artists to access information at a glance, contributing to a more efficient workflow.
