[Bf-cycles] [GSoC2014] Introduction and some questions regarding an idea concerning cycles.

[Matthias Herster]

Hey,

first of all, a short introduction of myself:
My name is Matthias Herster (usual nick: macro23) and I'm a student of
computer science at the University of Technology Graz. I am currently in
the last semester of my bachelor's degree and want to apply for
GSoC-program at blender, because I've used it now and then for some little
projects and want to help to improve it even more. After over ten years of
coding experience in a lot of languages, but especially C/C++, I think I'm
up to the challenge and have a realistic point of view for the effort of
such projects.

Now to my questions, regarding the idea of a network distributed cycles
rendering, to refine my proposal/application:

+ Although I looked through the code in the past days and have done a
possible bug fix (T37973), I think I could need a brief overview of which
functionality regarding the network rendering of cycles is already
implemented, just to be sure.

+ What should be the final goal/functionality of this particular GSoC idea
in more detail? (or is it up to me to make detailed suggestions?)

I hope someone is kind to answer my questions.

Thanks,
Matthias Herster
