Hello everyone:

Do you know any form of parallelizatino for POVRAY. The Mpich patch is for
povray 3.1g and I am looking for a way to run POVRAY on a GRID enviroment.


Thanks in advance.

Didn't use it myself though. Also note that POV-Ray 3.7 seems to have
built-in support for rendering on multiple CPUs (in one system).
