KATANA是一种用来渲染3D数据的环境，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。
KATANA最初是在索尼图形图像开发，用以处理日益复杂的工作流程，早在制作《贝奥武夫》和《冲浪企鹅》时已经被投入使用。KATANA的商业开发是由The Foundry在2009年年末开始的，以作为两家公司独特合作的一部分。
the Foundry的不断努力，以及和广泛用户的协商，都确保了KATANA是一个十分灵活的产品，并能够最终集成任何的工作流程和任何渲染器。能够和Nuke、皮克斯的RenderMan一起工作，都表明了它是一个非常友好的产品。
这些商议已经发展到更深入的协作，包括MPC和Digital Domain这些关键站点都在使用KATANA。
索尼图形图像首席技术官Rob Bredow说，“我们十分高兴KATANA能够走出索尼图形图像，并被广大艺术家所使用。The Foundry是一个非常值得信赖的合作伙伴，扩大了KATANA的使用范围和产品支持。艺术家可以从这种创新且经过业界验证的技术中获益。”
作为首个商业化的专业场景开发工具，KATANA允许设施可大可小以构建高扩展的灯光流程，而不需要内部工程计划。

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.
Integrated Rendering
Katana 3.0 would be half a solution without a rendering plugin, so Katana 3.0 ships with the NSI powered 3Delight rendering plugin giving users best-in-class production live rendering, free of charge for interactive renders. Fast, powerful, clean rendering and super easy-to-use, this renderer has lots to offer everyone. The 3Delight plugin is the first to tap the full potential of Katana’s rendering APIs.
