Hmmm. I'm writing this at work, and the 3DPro is at home, so this is from memory. It looks VERY automatic. You simply tell every machine on your net that you want it to render script x (includes the image list and all other necessary info) and that machine y is the host. It definitely breaks up the images and then builds them on the host machine at the end. 3DPro is certainly worth a look. I very much like the scene assembly tools it provides. The object editing is quite weak, however. Finally, the ray tracer is a very impressive piece of work. One of these days I'm going to have to create the exact same image in both Imagine and 3DPro, render it in both and compare. Actually, one of the magazines should do that — it would be fascinating to see the results.
