However, from my experience from working on the safety animation, bucket rendering is ideal for test renders and Backburner is ideal for rendering animation.
The most effective way to use bucket rendering is to have a fast network and computers that are equal in performance. It doesn't help you if you have one really slow cpu and one fast cpu.
If you need a guide on how to setup bucket rendering, let me know, I'd be glad to help.

I knew there was a way to do it, I was just wondering if their situation allowed them to do this. But excellent response nonetheless, I haven't set on up before so if I ever have to I'm definitley coming back to this thread.
