hi,

I'm trying to render animations using SMPOV
( http://www.it-berater.org/smpov.htm )

I finally got everything configured so SMPOV can find the pov-ray directory
and the shared folders work in windows xp, and it can render animations.

but SMPOV will just pick a (random) client PC and render all frames on that
PC while the rest of the render farm is ignored :-(
Using megapov with the frame_step option makes no difference.

has anyone got SMPOV to work with animations?

Jaap.

me again,

This question has become a bit less urgent.
I don't need to render in tiles, each client can render a full frame. I just
want each client to be assigned a frame on-demand, so all clients will
ready at the same time. I have decided to try this using just STL code.
shared folders (like SMPOV) and maybe a windows batch file generated by
pov-ray.

I will post here if it works.

distributed render system for povray animations

It's (mostly) SDL and it works :-)
