Post comment/reviewWhat is KATANA?
KATANA is a 3D application specifically designed for the needs of look development and lighting in an asset based pipeline.
KATANA is an environment for preparing 3D assets for rendering. It allows artists to define and control look and lighting whilst maintaining performance with very large datasets. KATANA operates non-destructively using a rule-based approach, allowing modeling, look development, animation and lighting teams to work in parallel.
KATANA is specifically designed to address the needs of highly scalable asset based workflow to:
- Allow updating of assets once shots are already in progress
- Share lighting set-ups, such as edits and overrides, between shots and sequences
- Allow use of multiple renderers and specifying dependencies between render passes
- Allow shot specific modification of assets to become part of the lighting 'recipe' for shots to avoid having to deal with large numbers of shot specific asset variants
