Performance Improvements
Your productivity depends on how efficiently the software you are using performs, so Katana remains unchanged, yet our team has done significant work since Katana version 2.6 to speed it up significantly: Katana 3.0 now loads files up 1.5x quicker despite its new viewport being 7-10x faster; with strategic changes improving key areas such as CEL, OpScript and Alembic as well.

Improved User Interface
We have also upgraded Katana's design and functionality by adding new tools and making information more readily accessible, giving artists more from it in just one glance. As part of a wider strategy to combine artist-led workflows and UX with Katana's technical foundations.
