Overview
Welcome to the Internet Movie Project Render Farm. We have created a render farm that is fast and flexible. The central server is a collection of database driven web pages. Jobs are submitted and managed with a browser. We provide a render client that uses only the http protocol for all communication. The client is written in perl and compliled to an .EXE file for windows users. Linux users run the client as a native perl script. Cross platform support is simple and straightforward since a single codebase is used for both clients. It supports access over firewalls and proxy servers. A quick breakdown of these pages are as follows.
- Documentation - This page has the Client Installation and Operation procedures. It will have everything you could want to know about the IMP Render Farm server as well.
- Show Status - Display statistics of the current render job and links to statistics of past jobs.
Information on the documentation page is still being updated as development progresses. Currently only the POV-Ray render engine is supported. In the future other render engines(Blender, Max, RenderMan...) may be supported.
