Foundry Live: The Future of Look Development and Lighting Solutions

About this event

Building upon the revolutionary advancements made in Katana 4.0 and the continuous quality-of-life improvements in Mari, Foundry’s Look Development and Lighting teams are joining forces to provide innovative solutions that remove pipeline friction and help artists get their desired result faster.

Join this session for an exclusive look at the future of Mari and Katana. We’ll discuss how the integration of Universal Scene Description (USD) will allow artists to streamline their workflows, enabling teams to easily collaborate across departments and deliver high-quality visuals.
