[Bf-committers] Single frame netrender

[Roger Wickes]

+1 while no single machine of mine (I have 8) can render a single frame of BBB,
or even ED, (malloc returns 0), my hope is that if I could get the tile small enough, 
each would be able to render a portion, and then one could stitch them together.

Hi,

Are you sure they didn't mean they wanted to be able to render a single frame on more than one machine?

For tile dispatch, what's needed is a way to specify the rendered tile on command line as well as a way to load render results per tile (or at least an easy way to recomposite the full frame).

PS: The change you did is fine for sure, but it don't think it's usually what people think of when they talk about distributed rendering of single frames.
