What ray tracer is this? Maybe I'm living with my head in a hole in
the ground. If you know who please don't hold back.
I don't think using alternate processors for rendering is such a wild
idea. 4 i860s will smoke a single 486.
Lightwave will have the screamer. ( multiprocesor RISC board )
Electric Image renders on SGI ( 4 processor Onxy ) 3DS is optimized
for the following processors: 486
Why not others. A true windows app for rendering. Then simply add SMP
support and buy a dual processor ALR. Network rendering is a good.
Multiprocessing is great!
