I am working in a parallel version of the POV-Ray raytracer.
Currently I have a pre-release available in my web-page, so you can 
download it and try. i have rendered images and it works. Now I am adding 
the features of starting and stopping PVM if needed, and I will begin 
soon an automated load balance version (this works with a fixed load 
balance scheme) and support for multiprocessor machines (now the system 
only spawns a task on each machine, fine with workstations).

I have designed and tried it under the SUN4SOL2 arch., and it WORKS!!!!. 
It also works under SUN4.

Please feel free of download and try it from 
hhtp://www.abo.fi/~rhortal/povpvm.

I'd also be very grateful to whom can help me with the Mafefile for aimk, 
working with the dir. structure that I have in the distribution. (There's 
currently one Mafefile.aimk, but it doesn't work).

Tell me about it if you try it.
