This question has probably been asked alot.
Is there a website dedicated to an Amiga Render Farm or has anyone here built one.
I have read on a site that you would have to have Queing software.
Networking for amiga is , I hear, expensive due to lack of hardware, except for using Elbox expansion boards.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Ahh...now here is a topic that I have not seen discussed in a VERY long time. AMIGAs were used in render farm configurations back in the early / mid 90's when they were the best (ie most affordable) systems available. The first season of B5 (Babylon 5) used Amiga render farms to generate much of the exterior shots of the show (space, ships, station, etc..). The software of choice was of course NewTek Toaster / Flyer. I'm not aware of anyone still using the AMIGA in such a manner today so your project might be interesting to watch.
If you can find him, Tigger is a great person to ask about this topic. He has lots of experience in this area.
