### Welcome to RenderMan for Katana!

RenderMan for Katana (RfK) capitalizes on the changes made for newer versions of Katana and continues full support of the latest RenderMan.  See the [RenderMan Release Notes](https://rmanwiki-26.pixar.com/space/REN26/19662087/RenderMan+Release+Notes) for more details.

This current release offers support for:

- Katana 8.0
- Katana 7.5
- Katana 7.0
- Katana 6.5
- Katana 6.0
- Katana 5.0


#### Katana Limitation

- If you use ROI and overscan or cropWindow, the ROI will have to be adjusted slightly after a resolution edit to get the correct value during a live render
- Instanced lights with filters using the "Light Filter" coordsys have an incorrect transform. The workaround is to promote the light filter to a shared light filter using a light filter reference.
- We do not receive live render edits from Katana for nodes added at the end of the node graph, right above the Render node.  If a no-op node (e.g. Merge) is inserted above the Render node and the node is added above that then the edit is received.
- Any live updates will cause interactive motion blur to be disabled. The render must be restarted to see motion blur.
