Does anyone have accurate information about the particulars of Lightwave PC's distributed rendering capablities? Is it true that we will need a full copy of Lightwave for every machine in the network? If this is the case, considering rendering power alone, Lightwave's price advantage over 3D studio evaporates on every network over 3 machines. This does not seem to make sense, and I don't think it is the way ScreamerNet operated. It would seem to make sense that one Lightwave copy would be able to farm out rendering to eight machines without the requirement that each machine have its own copy and dongle. Could someone clarify the situation? Thanks, Bruce
