you could use my "distributed render system for animations" script in
POV-Ray > Newsgroups > povray.text.scene-files.

i't ecentially a dos batchfile that repeatetly runs a special povray file.
that povray file generates "render comamnds" (also a batch file) for all
connected computers.

I have tested it running the master and the render client on the same pc, so
it should work using just one pc. it restarts megapov for each frame with
apropreate start and end frame settings (to render a single frame each
time).

using a shared folder on a network, it can ditribute frames over all the
pc's in the network. I have run in to the XP limit (max. 10 pc's on a
shared folder) but with 9 PC's it works like a runawy train :-)
