Hydra驱动视口技术
新版Katana集成Pixar USD Hydra技术打造现代化视口，专为超大规模场景渲染设计。该视口与Katana Viewer API高度适配，可实现巨型场景的丝滑加载与实时交互，配套推出的艺术家友好型变换控制柄及定制化绘图/操纵器API，将用户体验提升至全新维度。
性能优化升级
Katana 3.0启动与文件加载速度较前版提升1.5倍，新视口运行效率达前代7-10倍。通过对CEL表达式、OpScript脚本及Alembic数据处理等核心模块进行战略级优化，整体性能实现显著跃升。
界面体验革新
配合视口升级与性能飞跃，全面优化UI设计布局：新增变换工具集、改善信息可视化呈现，使艺术工作者能更高效获取核心数据。此项改进标志着我们持续推进艺术家驱动型工作流与Katana技术底座的深度融合计划。
The Foundry Katana是一款专业的3D渲染工具，允许艺术家去自定义和控制外观、灯光，同时保持性能，即使在处理大的数据集。通过使用基于规则的方法，它的操作并不具有破坏性，因此可以让建模、外观开发、动画和灯光团队并行工作。

With its highly efficient, collaborative approach to look development and lighting, Katana gives you the creative scope and scalability to meet the needs of today’s most demanding CG-rendering projects.
Hydra Powered Viewport
Katana now features a new, modern viewport powered by Pixar’s USD Hydra technology. Designed to render massively complex scenes, the Hydra viewport is a perfect addition to Katana’s Viewer API. Now artists can load huge scenes and view larger portions of their work with buttery-smooth interaction. To compliment this new level of user experience, there’s a set of artist-friendly transform handles, a rich API for creating custom object drawing and manipulators. This new viewport is the game changer all Katana artists have been waiting to have at their fingertips.
Performance Improvements
No matter what program you use, how much work you get done always comes down to performance. Katana is the same and the team have done a lot of work since Katana 2.6. While the new viewport is 7x to 10x faster, Katana 3.0 itself now starts up and loads files 1.5x faster than previous versions. General performance has also been improved by strategic changes to key areas like CEL, OpScript, and Alembic processing.
Improved UI
As a compliment to the new viewport and improved performance, we’ve updated the design of the overall UI, added new transform tools, and made information easier to process, so artists can now get more information from Katana at a glance. All part of our larger plan to merge artist driven workflow and UX with Katana’s power and technical foundation.
