Experience the next evolution of lighting and look development. Artists can manage scenes with procedural nodes, handle layout, lookdev and lighting in one unified workspace then render with Karma XPU.
The Copernicus system enhances this workflow by adding powerful procedural texturing and slap comp capabilities, giving you greater control from start to final render.
