The
electric sheep project uses an
xscreensaver module to display an animated fractal flame while rendering
frames for the next animation. It is designed for users with with
high-bandwidth, always-on Internet connections. It doesn't seem to work
through firewalls. Beta version 2.7b10 is available for Windows as of
September 9, 2008. Beta version 2.7b9 is available for Linux. See the
project's download
page for information about the latest applications and versions. Users behind
a firewall will have to configure the firewall to allow port 8080 in order to
use the client.

BURP
the Big and Ugly Rendering Project, is a
BOINC-based project which renders
three-dimensional animations. The project is in alpha stage. It is rendering
animations as it is developed and tested. Completed sessions may be downloaded
from the session gallery.
As of March 20, the project is preparing to begin its Beta phase. Participants
from the Alpha phase need to upgrade
their accounts if they wish to continue participating in the project.
The project uses the BOINC computing platform to run various applications. See the BOINC platform information for the latest version of the BOINC client. Version 4.56 of the Blender application is available for Windows and Linux as of October 8, 2007. As of August 19, 2005, project participants can register their server to become a BURP mirror to help distribute the load of transfering input files, movie files, application files, and other project-related files.

Help
vSwarm render three-dimensional animations
submitted by project members. Project members can submit projects to be
rendered in the Blender or
LuxRender software applications, and
other project members using the vSwarm client application automatically
render images for those projects. Note that as of January 20, 2010, the
project is in Alpha test stage, with active development of the project software
ongoing, and the software and project website and project server may not work
completely reliably yet.
To participate in the project, determine whether your computer meets the project's system requirements, then download and install the client. Join a discussion forum about this project. |
