Keith: Hi! Since my name was mentioned (in vain!) in this thread, I thought I'd jump in! Maybe in R3 you'll have control of the "render region" box. If so, you could just write a simple routine that splits the rendering into even portions and renders each region on a separate machine. Your idea of writing out only those entities required would be difficult if the user had shadows or reflections turned on – I don't know if there would be an easy way of testing to see if they would appear in another region without actually rendering them! Let me know how you do with the routine – if you need a good method of distribution, you can always call us! <g,d,& r!> Greg Pyros
