Doug, PMJI. It seems to me that to split up rendering of a high-res image, it wouldn't be all that difficult to manually split the scene to render to region. The split only has to be approximate, say 4 regions starting from opposite corners, with a slight overlap. Assign the render to whatever machines are available. Then composite in Video Post using Align to place them from their corners. Supposedly, any overlap will be identical pixels, resulting in a complete image. Still, as has been mentioned, each machine has to have sufficient memory to render the portion of the scene, with maps, etc. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates
