Foundry at FMX 2022: Using Katana in Highly-Stylized Feature Animation

Since its inception, Mikros Animation, a global CGI animation studio, has always put creativity and CG artistry at the heart of its animation activities. From its very first feature animation, Asterix – The Mansions of the Gods to its latest projects, the teams at Mikros Animation have helped filmmakers define and develop their vision from script to screen. They make every project unique and ensure that every story becomes unforgettable. In this presentation, Mikros Animation will explain why Katana has been chosen to reach these objectives and how it has been integrated in our pipeline in order to deliver the look development and lighting for the unique creative challenges on each project.

This session is covered by:
Marcel Reinhard, Lead Developer Shading/Lighting/Rendering at Mikros Animation
Philippe Palmieri, Look Development Supervisor at Mikros Animation

Fast and formidable, Katana is a look development and lighting powerhouse that tackles creative challenges with ferocity and ease. It arms artists with the creative freedom and scalability to exceed the needs of today’s most demanding CG-rendering projects.
