The problem with network rendering to the PAR is that frames are rendered in random order. All you need to do is have the PAR installed in any workstation and have a process that will collect the images as they are being rendered and lay them in an orderly fashion to the PAR drive. I've written such tool. It's called NDUMP and it runs as an IXP in your video post queue. Once frames are transferred from your Novell server to the PAR drive, they can be optionally deleted to save the space. Now the question is how to get NDUMP. Pyros Partnership is the distributor but they've transferred the sales to another group. Try giving them a call and let me know how it goes. Pyros Partnership -> (714) 833-0334.
