Hey,

I've been looking around trying to find info on how to set up a small render
farm (3 or 4 win boxes) to use with POVray. I couldn't believe it but said
info is hard to find. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right
direction.

thanks,

Justin

1.  Procure boxes.

2.  Connect boxes into a local network.

3.  Install POV-Ray on each box.

4.  Put them to work rendering.

5.  Copy rendered frames to the box with the most free drive space.

Regards,
John

I think he was hoping for a automated send X number of images to the farm
and have 'it' worry about specifics - or perhaps rendering across multiple
machines

The Internet Movie Project was going to do that with POV. I don't 
know if they still are. Go to http://www.imp.org.

If you need a Renderfarm, look at:

http://sabix.etdv.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/


A new undocumented feature is, that it can separate and join
one big job autamatically.

If you are interested, send me an email.

Stefan.
