Hey, every farm needs some cowboys, how about render-cowboys. I could be the
lone star... ;-)

Well, for the system I was programming (simple POV-Ray render farm), I
came up with "Farmhands" as one of the terms. Saves two syllables.

Any one knows about the famous belgian cartoon cow-boy karakter ?
I'm talking about Lucky-Luke.
Not a mickey mouse anyway ;-)

One thing that could cause a prob with the render-Farm(er) idea is the
random routines that are used in the textures built into POV. If I remember
correctly, there is a comment about using different OS/machines to render
frames - then putting them together, because the textures may not match up -
due to the different way the random numbers are generated.
Just a thought.
Fran.

Good point!
We have to make sure that all continuos scenes are rendered on the same
platform (I don't think that there would be a difference with for
example two boxes both running Win-POV-Ray, would there?)

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

Actually, as far as I know, the random number system that Pov-Ray uses, is
identical from platform to platform, so if you render a scene on Linux, then
render it again in Win95, it should come out the same.
I'll test and find out in the next day or so.

A CD-RW drive might be a better way to ship the rendered Targa frames to
a repository. (Better to use reusable CD-RW drives; the disks can be
returned to the sender with the next rendering "assignment", although
"assignmnets" are best picked up from the net.)
I'm just looking in and that thought came to mind. I probably could act
as a renderer; my POV-Ray skills are very limited with regards to
planning scenes. Better for me to provide some CPU cycles to rendering,
but it'll have to compete with the RC5-64 challenge :-).

Only one problem, CD-RW isn't supported by anything other than CD-RW drives,
so each person would need a CD-RW drive.
To reply, post from now on in povray.animation

The random number generator used in PovRay is operating system and compiler
independent. The images created on different computers should be identical
when rendered from the same source files.
