i've seen a lot of good renders here, and i'd like to help. but i don't have the brains nor the software to think of anything myself. however my computer is doeing almost nothing most of the time, so if anyone finds a way to distrubed computer work for renders, i'm offering help. i've only got a few demands:
1. it's gotta be in relativley small packages, let's say under 50 mb
2. i want to be able to see what's being rendered, so i can check i'm not rendering anything wrong
3. it's gotta be a very stable proggram
4. i want to be able to do some work (text editing, checking HLP, etc) while the rendering is going on.

that's all, so if you know how to do it,just tell me and let me help.

my system specs are:
win98SE
800mhz p3
196mb RAM (sd)
16mb TNT2 integrated on the motherboard
500MB available on my HD for this stuff
and a cable net acces, dl is good, upload isn't

I don't have comprehensive knowledge of distributed computing, nor MAX's network render stuff, but I don't think such a thing is possible (with current software). I'd be happy to be proven wrong, though.

I think he ment that a person that want to use his offer sends the scene and the meshes to him and he opens the scene and starts rendering it.

Wel your demands proberly can't be set like you want.

1. it's gotta be in relativley small packages, let's say under 50 mb

That is no problem to do.

2. i want to be able to see what's being rendered, so i can check i'm not rendering anything wrong

Wel i am not sure about that, but Lightwave has a preview window when rending animations and still images dunno about other programs.( they proberly also have it ).

3. it's gotta be a very stable proggram

That depends on the hardware you are using and programs you are running while rendering. And no rendering program is very stable. But like i said that depends on hardware and your compuer configurations. So on one PC it's more stable then another.


4. i want to be able to do some work (text editing, checking HLP, etc) while the rendering is going on.

That also depends on how complex the scene is. If some one used Volumetrics then it wil be prety CPU intensive. And since you only have 192MB of ram it wil proberly be a pain to browse or run anything els in the background.


I think you shoudl carefully consider if you realy want to do this imo. But thats up to you.


The offer is nice, but i won't use it .See below:)

ok, to bad that i can't help,since i'm not doeing anything or the community right now. but the offer still stands tough, i just don't have any software to do rendering with,so it as to be a stand-alone package.
