- KAT101

  - Katana has many nodes for operation, e.g. MaterialAssign,

  - The connections between nodes in NodeGraph only represent  a light-weight relationship. The connection doesn't represent the direction of data-flow all the time, e.g. the connection between two MaterialAssign nodes doesn't represent a dependence at all.

  - The philosopy of Katana is quite different from Maya, so let's keep an eye on Katana.
