Is there such a version of MegaPov that combines ParallelPov's parallel
processing with MegaPov's new features?

I started some weeks ago to port MegaPOV to pvm, mainly merging the code
with pvmpov. As it worked quite properly, I also worked at improving
radiosity results. The result is not yet perfect, the code is poor and
not at all fool-proof etc... so there is still a lot of work to do.

I am just putting this on a web page so that people intereted in testing
MegaPOV 0.5a on a cluster or multiprocessor machine can try it. It's
here:

I would be a lot interested in feedback, both from a platform/OS point
of view, and from radiosity experts over there.

Happy POVing!
