Academy of Animated Art – Katana Workshop

Unleash the power of the Lighting and Look Development tool that is taking the 3D world by storm. Taught Lighting Artist and Katana Software Pioneer Abel Vargas
Katana is a Lighting and LookDev tool from The Foundry (makers of Nuke, Mari, and more) that drastically simplifies the management of assets, materials, shaders, and output files like AOVs using a node-based workflow. Katana is designed to make an artist’s life easier. It processes large files easily and even allows you to simultaneously work with multiple shots, frames, assets, other variations from within one Katana project file.

But you are probably wondering…”I already know Maya. Why would I learn lighting in different software?”
So glad you asked!

Katana is specifically designed for Lighting and Look Dev artists.
Maya, Houdini, 3D Studio Max, and other software packages are bogged down with tools and a multitude of functionality that clog the interface and decrease efficiency. Katana strips away all that access and provides a streamlined environment that allows you to easily work with even the most complex files. Never wait hours for a Maya file to load again.
Katana makes lighting a sequence of shots easy.
Have you ever tried to light a sequence of shots in another software package? What do you do? You load the scene. Create your light rig. Export the file. Load the next scene. Import that light rig. Open the next scene…etc. Then, alas, you get a note from the director. What do you have to do? Wait to load one shot, tweak the light, save and close. Wait to load the next shot, make the same tweak, save and close. Wait to load….AAHHH!! There has to be a better way. Katana makes it so you only have to make that change once and it populates throughout all your shots.
Katana harnesses the power of the node-based workflow
Anyone that has worked in Nuke or Houdini can attest to the ease and flexibility of a node-based interface. I have two words for you Non-Destructive Workflow! Plus it is so easy to duplicate and share between multiple project files.
Other 3D software packages can’t even compare. Have you ever run into a render error in Maya? How hard is it to diagnose? The node-based workflow allows for easy access to every step in your process and a mistake with one component can easily be fixed without corrupting the entire file.
More and more studios are switching to Katana
Don’t take my word for it. Check out what artists at the studios themselves are saying:

“I use Katana because it’s one of the best tools to do my job…It makes work a lot more pleasurable because you spend less time fighting with the software and more time doing your actual job.”
Method Studios

“Because we had a bunch of lighting templates created for bb8 in Katana, we were able to put him in there throw some lights in there and make him look amazingly real in a matter of hours.”
Industrial Light and Magic

“Some scenes were literally dealing with several million unique shapes. Katana allowed us to handle these monumental scenes with grace.”
Sony Pictures Animation

“Katana has streamlined our pipeline, freeing up our artists to focus more on their craft.”
Weta Digital

“From on scene file, you can light 10, 20, 100 shots.”
Spin VFX

“Comparing our previous approach to our current, Katana reduces our man-hours up to 80%”
Animagrad Animation Studio

“We did some unique things in Katana that allowed a team of 3 people to bust through 40 some odd characters in a short amount of time.”
Laika
