Ah, that seems interesting. Several users asked me already if POV-Ray supports distributed rendering. > On the KPovModeler webpage I read that there are plans for a render-plugin. > Should I wait for this to be finished?

But after a quick look it seems that your tool can be used even without modifying KPovModeler by specifying your tool in the settings (POV-Ray command) with the needed command line parameters. > So, I just wanted to let you know that I'm planning to work on this and I'm > interested in any comments.

I will be on hollidays until Aug 23nd and therefore not in Hove Hrady. If you are interested in joining the project, I could point you to the core classes you need for render-plugins after my holliday. I don't have enough spare time at the moment. We lack the time to do quite active development so any new team member who is really interested in this project is welcome. What's your experience with programming, especially with object oriented programming?
