Katana 3.0 to Include 3Delight Render Plugin

[ #Foundry #KATANA #RenderMan #Rendering #Software #news ]Foundry has announced that 3Delight would come as a free plug-in for Katana 3.0 as an interactive render when it ships later this year. This partnership comes as a result of Katana’s excellence in solving the toughest look development and lighting problems. The software would take advantage of 3Delight’s newly redesigned and Nodal Scene Interface (NSI): which is a node-based hierarchical UI that enables users to adjust scene lighting interactively and see the results in real time.

Important benefits;

•Fast, physically based rendering technology with open shading language (OSL) at its core
•Fully interactive live rendering and a real-time light mixer especially well-suited for Katana’s workflow
•Material nodes that are 100 percent compatible with the Maya version
•Ability to use fur/hair and displacements extensively with negligible impact on performance
•Better quality rendering with perfectly smooth subdivision surfaces
•Network caching for efficient network utilization by automatic scene dependency localization

Pricing and availability
3Delight plugin would be available when Katana 3.0 ships later this year. The existing version of 3Delight for Katana is free for the first eight-core licence; an unlimited multi-core licence costs $1,200.
