Not that I know of. I have rendered anims on 486's and Pent's all running
Win95 and that worked OK. Also a mixture of dos (under win95) worked ok as
well. I haven't tried a mixture of other machines thou.


Aside of that I've here what I can provide to the project.

Rendering power - Pentium 150 (48Mb Ram) win96 that spends all night off.
Unlimited access to the Internet - thou only though a 33.6k modem - but at
least it's a flat rate.
CD - writer - Don't know how much that would help.
Some animation experence - see
