So, I have everything up and running with povray, being from a graphics
background, not too many questions there. But, I would like to know if
their is a win32 render farm solution for povray (pref version 3.5, nice
new features) and if so, where can one find it?

Thanks,

Mark

There is some work going on in this area (not sure if it covers 3.5 yet). I
believe that the internet raytracing project uses some form of render farm.

However, you can also kludge a render farm fairly easily - just run two (or
more) separate instances of pov on two (or more) machines and render
different sections of the image in the different instances. Note that this
method does not work easily with radiosity.
