Welcome to RenderMan 22.0 for Katana

RenderMan for Katana (RfK) capitalizes on the changes made for newer versions of Katana and continues full support of the latest RenderMan ProServer 22.0.

We're especially pleased to have improved stability in Live Rendering and simplified workflows using macros for repetitive tasks. Light and material edits during Live Rendering should be more robust with complex networks and perform better overall. Adding analytic lights is a now breeze with a single click or shortcut. You can even add lights during Live Rendering!

We also introduce GafferThree light packages to handle the above improvements as well as direct control of light visibility.
