For those of you with limited CPU resources, you can take full advantage
of my povray rendering farm!

I've set up a bunch of machines to watch for work to be done.

You submit your scene file and one of my machines in the farm will
render your image for you and e-mail you back the picture.  It's really
cool!

You can get to it here:

Have fun!

Hey, that IS "really cool".  The current status shows it idle at the moment.
How many times has this actually been tried successfully?

Most of the machines are allways idle unless a job has been submitted.

I just checked it out and it seems like people have started to use it
since I posted on this newsgroup.

It's been available for almost a year now, but I haven't kept it
up-to-date very much.  I want to install mega-pov on all of the
machines, but keeping that many machines up-to-date is a little bit of
work.  8)

If I submit my scene file, will it render the 129,600 frames needed for
a ninety-minute film at 24 fps?

What are the limitations compared to offline client-side rendering?
Those rendered pics must be an awful long download for modem users :-(
unless you're sending them back as jpeg which is like giving someone a
banana seed and getting the rotting peel from last week's trash back.

Are you aware of security problems when rendering povray files sent by
unknown people from the net?
  File I/O can be used to make a lot of harm (such as destroying your entire
home directory).

Don't take this the wrong way, but how exactly do you benefit from making a
farm of computers available to online users?  Still, whatever the reason, it
looks like a great service.

You've actually had this site up for awhile, so I wonder, do many people
take advantage of it?
