I'm thinking about the idea of doing a distributed rendering via internet but i don't know where to start. Is there any sort of open software to provide P2P rendering or something like that?

I have been using the smoke physics in Blender Render. I can do the Flow and the domain and all that, but I am having trouble making it show up when I render it.

I am sure this never has been asked anywhere before. With Skin Modifier, we can "weight" a vertex (in edit mode) so that the resulting Skin mesh is bigger or smaller ---- similar to Curve Object which has "Scale Feather" adjustable. Manually, we can hit Tab, go to edit mode, select vertices the...

So every time I try to do a smoke sim. I set the domain and it looks like this. I don't under stand. Is this a glitch? On top of that I get no smoke! So what am I doing wrong? I set up a particle system,From a base mesh. I then set up a smoke sim using the particles as the flow object. So far e...

I have posted images http://imgur.com/a/wsYv which show the result of animation and also the settings I have used. I am using constraints to hold the soft bod...

Is it possible to create an iridescence shader in cycles? Specifically for something like DVDs, soap bubbles, engine oil, etc.. I know about this technique for the DVD, but it doesn't properly disperse light that is not anisotropically reflected.. Thanks..
