I don't see what are all the skills needed. Show some interest in a
renderfarm, wait for me to get the thing back up and running, then email
me .pov files.

Heh. I could have used a render farm this week. 36 frames taking roughly 45
minutes each. I may need it again later if I decide to use area lights and
focal blur.

Me too. I had 15 hours for 300 frames then a redo because of an oops.

most of my work involve many multi MB mesh files, often totalling 50 or
100MB.... I don't think that is really practical.

This is true, (something I forgot). In my last animation for the TC-RTC I had
300 frames which meant 900 meshes weighing 5.5 Gig.

How much if compressed with 7-zip?

Well, a typical mesh will be reduced by about 70%.

Hmmm... Makes me wonder whether POV could maybe read compressed files as well as
uncompressed files in a future version? However, it's not a big deal if it
can't.

Would it make a difference I wonder? POV would have to unzip the files
first, wouldn't it? Or are you thinking about a way in which POV could use
the zipped files directly? I must add that I know nothing about these
things, so my question is probably stupid... :-)

It should be possible to read from a zipped file directly, except POV-Ray
implements macros by seeking in the file, and compressed files aren't
random-access.
A plain old mesh2 should, in theory, work fine from a compressed file.
My ex-renderfarm uncompressed the 7zip archive before starting each render
(yes, it was uncompressed for every frame, even if nothing changed).
