I have a very old and slow computer. Is there anywhere I can upload pov
scene files for rendering, then download the image when it's finished? I
doubt if such a wonderful place exists, but it would sure be
nice...*sigh*

I think a few of them exist actually... Maybe the Link Meister could come to
the rescue on this one...
Usually they work that you upload the scene file and specifications and it
renders it and send it via email.

There was one such service at : http://manson.ddns.org/webpovray/index.html
but it appears to now be gone. You would submit a scene for rendering and
it was up to you to come back and download it from the finished render queue.
There are commercial services that offer this but I do not have any links
to them. I would recommend a web search for "render farms" for more information
on this topic.

All I can find so far is a free service for rendering scenes with
"Radiance". http://www.rendercity.com
Got my hopes up and everything :-( I'm still looking though... it
would be the holy grail of pov-ray if I can find something.

You could just put a post in here asking nicely. You never know, I
sometimes have a computer spare that I could render your scene. What is
your computer? If any of mine are significantly quicker I'll do it.

I'm certain I had seen such a web page promoting to do this for POV-Ray
but all I ever found were places doing it for 3DS and other renderers.
Everytime this comes up I wonder why I didn't bookmark the link (if
any). Very possible it's a personal web page somewhere not getting found
via a search engine. Either that or Ken has already pointed it out.

I have a 486; it's about 6 years old :-( Plus it's the "family" computer
so I can't have it always tied up because my parents usually want to
check their e-mail etc.. Plus I'm working on an IRTC entry that has a
fairly large mesh, lots of lights, and *media*. I've had a 320x240, no
AA, and low media settings rendering going for 17.5 hours now and it's
only 64% done. There's no way I'll be able to keep doing "test"
renderings at this pace, and do the *final* rendering when I still have
ALOT of things to add.
>If any of mine are significantly quicker I'll do it.
I really appreciate the offer, but it would be *way* too much hassle for
you and myself because the scene file would be a big download (600k +)
and I'm really just doing test renderings now, that's why I was hoping
to find some sort of automated system so I could just poke along at my
own pace. Thanks again though.

600Kb files are fine for me. I'm running a PII233, 192Mb so if you need
me to render your final scene the offers still open (I'd just leave it
running over night.)
Graham
P.S. I wouldn't steal your IRTC entry and claim it as my own, I'm
working on mine now. ;-) (It's not going well at the moment, though.)

I agree 100%. A 1 Meg file wouldn't be "too much hassle" either really.
I have the same computer, less the PII and 128 Megs RAM (it's still a
233MHz).
That 17 and a half hours might be as little as a couple hours. So I'm
offering also. I understand though, your real problem is in those long
test renders that everyone probably suffers from; meaning a whole lot of
emails back and forth. That I may not be able to offer help with since I
would only be free to do a few of these at most without interference to
my regular routine.
Let's keep looking for that web site offering POV-Ray rendering (fee or
free).

What we need is one of them college dudes with PVM set up on a cluster and
has too much time on his hands for this type of thing. I am sure there's a
bunch of those around. Yeah right ! :)
