Hi there!

I have 2 questions:

1.) (The easy one). Can I run the PovRay render engine on a remote computer
(send the rendering infos to it and get the image back)?
   We have some fast computers in the company, but my machine is slow, so I
olny want to generate the files and read back the results...
    Some links to software or descriptions?
    Can I split the render task over several machines?

2.) I got a macro which generates a maze and also a solution path as a
object in form of pipes.
   I now modell the pipe as glass and want to become the glass "path"
lighning red. I place a red photon light source at the beginning.
   I attach a link with the PovRay model file and the image.
   Can anybody tell me if this is the right way to do it?
   I want the pipe to look very bright ...

Best regards,

Martin Weiss.

Maybe you can log in to the remote computer with ssh, start the render 
and then retrive the resulting image file with scp or sftp when it is 
finished.
