Abstract:


    Geolib is the scenegraph processing engine at the heart of Katana, a lighting and rendering tool used in animation and visual effects. This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of its deferred design, lessons learned in the first 10 years, and implementation choices made in the rewrite for Katana 2.0.
