<div class="IPBDescription">for compilers/modelers.</div> well,I check the terragen yahoo group,and what do I find,<a href='http://bchynds.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2&Itemid=9' target='_blank'>this</a>
for those who are too lazy to click,a guy says his rig has seen plenty of idle time,and he thought he'd "donate" it to people who do 3d work,and need a nice rig to render/compile with.You can discuss the terms with the man himself via e-mail,which is located in the above link. (along with more info)
personally,this is EXCELLENT news for REALLY high poly modelers and 3d renderers.I've been thinking about rendering out a terragen movie,but I've thought the strain would be too much for my tiny 1.5ghz processer...
reguardlessly,this might help modelers with weak machines,or just anyone who needs a powerful rig for something like 3d work.

Maybe if he installs the HL1/HL2 compiler then he could lend his PC for folks that have maps talking hours to compile ? But then again, if it takes hours, it may been a bit of tweaking.
3ds, maya and other applications have network render server software, but this is expensive, and i dont think this guy got all possible solutions for every 3d package.
hes limited to terragen and this funny other 3d modelling kit he got..i think he mentioned blender somewhere.
ANYWAYS, Horrible idea anyway, to let anyone do any work for you. Just get Cinema 4d if you want renders, they're decent. As well, compilation should be learned and done by the modeller, since they know what they want. Just a thought.

The second one was done with Photo-Paint too; that's probably how he got everything but the mesh. The first one was probably done partially with other stuff too.

Not at all, I used it myself, and it's great if you know what you're doing with it. But did you see they guy's banner? looked like it was rendered in blender, too, and not very well. Problem is that most people <i>don't</i> know what they're doing with it, that's why I laughed.

there was an open-source map compile GROUP... the problem is that if you wanted to use their compile-farm (of like friggin 20-25 machines) you have to agree to share your map with the world... it got a lot of use, but it was just too 'risky' to have any of the maps used for real.
a map-compile grouping of the same kind would be nice, if they didn't require it to be open source...
