Foundry Live: Preview of Mari 5.0 and Katana 5.0

About this event

The upcoming releases of Katana 5.0 and Mari 5.0 are focused on reducing pipeline friction and facilitating creativity with improved artist tools. Featuring interoperability between Katana and Nuke, USD workflow enhancements, and tools that allow artists to accurately execute their vision, the 5.0 releases are focused on turning artists into Super-Artists.

Join Foundry’s Look Development and Lighting team during this special session as they dive into what’s next for Mari and Katana and get the opportunity to ask your need-to-know questions during a live Q&A.
