Start your USD journey with Katana 7.0 and get the best of both worlds, with USD-native workflows and Katana’s powerful LookDev and lighting tools!
USD brings a unified standard to your pipeline, delivering enhanced collaboration, non-destructive editing, and improved asset reusability.
Katana 7.0 introduces a brand new suite of native USD nodes, giving you a toolbox to import, manipulate, and build upon USD stages using the new performant architecture shared with Nuke’s USD 3D system.
The new Scene Explorer tab brings together Katana’s production-proven toolset with USD standards for an even greater performance and experience when compared to the original Scene Graph tab. Familiar icons across Katana and Nuke make it easier for you to jump between both applications when working in USD.
By displaying both USD and Katana scene data under one tab, artists can use the same Katana workflows they know and love, like deferred loading, on USD data as well; allowing you to work with the best of both worlds.
You can also now see native USD and Katana assets in the Hydra viewer simultaneously.
This implementation of USD in Katana helps you transition to USD at your own pace or stay in a non-USD workflow.
Updates to the Attributes tab let you view and examine both USD and Katana data all in one place, making it an invaluable tool for inspecting the scene for troubleshooting and debugging.
Get up and running in USD and Katana with our new video, so you can make the most of these new features.
This is just the start of our journey with USD-native workflows, with a broader vision planned for future releases.
We’ve upgraded Live Rendering with multi-threading support, making real time adjustments and live render updates up to twice as fast.
Plus, two new Cache Eviction Strategies (’Dependency Protecting’ and ’Continual’ highlighted in the on-screen graphic) optimize memory management and ensure your tasks run smoothly and efficiently.
All of this adds up to a robust, reliable, and high-performance Katana, helping you to meet ever-increasing industry demands.
We cannot wait to see what you create next.
