Release Notes for Katana

2.0v1b2

Release Date

29 October 2014

System Requirements

• Katana 2.0v1b2 is tested and qualified on Linux 64-bit CentOS/RHEL 5.4

• A graphics card which supports OpenGL shader model 4.0

• A supported renderer (see below)

Supported Renderers

Katana 2.0v1b2 supports PRMan 17.0 and Arnold 4.1.3.3. The supplied renderer plug-ins are compiled and tested

against these versions, using GCC 4.1.2. Minor version increments of PRMan and Arnold may work, as long as they

are API compliant with the supported versions.

Support for PRMan 18.0 and above is provided directly by Pixar using their RenderMan Studio for Katana plug-in. To

get access to RenderMan Studio for Katana please contact Pixar directly.

To use a version of PRMan or Arnold other than those listed above, you may need to recompile the renderer plug-in.

To expose new features and options, you may need to modify the renderer plug-in.

Using a version of PRMan or Arnold other than those listed above may produce unexpected behavior. Using a

compiler other than GCC 4.1.2 may produce unexpected behavior. Please note that we can only guarantee to

respond to Katana bug reports when they are reproducible with the supplied versions of the renderer plug-in,

compiled with the supported version of GCC.
