| I thought about it.  Maybe what we can do is once we are all happy with the
| diamond, we can setup an area light then whoever is interested can render a
| piece of it.  The majority of the time will be spent on the render, not the
| pre-processing, so the parallelism should save us some time.  We could also
| be daring and attempt to have more than one diamond.  :)

| I have two computers at work that can render overnight.

On somewhat the same subject:  anyone ever pass around a saved photon map
before?  Just curious if that's easy to do, and not only that if there would
be unforeseen problems from one computer to the next.
