At http://www.imp.org/ we have a (non-commercial) povray render farm
running. Feel free to visit the website or drop us an e-mail. The farmers
are running win95/98/NT/2000/XP and all different kinds of *nix.

Hi,
how about a client/server aproach? A sort of daemon running in the backgroup
which is connecting to the GUI via TCP/IP (local or remote RPC).
The GUI does "only" dispatching of the source to all "known" daemons.
Animations with tons of images could be created much faster.
If you have a dual CPU system, you "simply" run two daemons and set the
affinity to a dedicated CPU. The GUI would still communicate through TCP/IP via
localhost (loopback).
This would also be very nice for Winows GUI plus a couple of Linux/UNIX boxes
with "just" daemons running on it!
If you "spin" this idea a little bit further, you could imagine that you could
use other people's CPUs over the net (if they allow it). There are a lot of
linux/unix boxes running 24x7 and ideling most of the time.
I'm aware that this is definitly not something that can be realized easily. But
as a more general direction it would be very nice.
regards,
Peter
