Render images for computer-animated movies in
Internet Movie Project. The project is an
open-source collaboration of volunteers and is just for fun. It is still
in the development phase, but you can volunteer to be a "render-farmer," to
render images for test animation sequences. Anyone who can run the free
POV-Ray ray-tracing program can join this
project, although the supporting scripts and software needed for the project
only work on the Windows and Linux platforms for now.
The project released its first general-release distributed rendering client along with a live job, on November 12, 2001. It is releasing live jobs frequently as of June, 2003, to test and further develop the system.
Job #3 (1,800 frames) was completed on July 17, 2003. See information and movies for past project on the job status page.
