I don't have nVidia card, unfortunately.
I will be willing to help with a PHP based system, but I don't know how much time I can dedicate. I might also be able to donate hosting, since I have more than a few free gigs lying around.
Here is an outline of what I believe it should be like should it exist:
(drawn up during school, of course, along with a giant meteoric explosion)
Dubbed "rendershare" for now,
- Invite Only
- Register using an invite
- Upload 3d scene
- Specify info: program, version, # frames (split into 50 frame blocks), whether saved as frames or a sequence, encoding/type (divx|dv|cinepak, avi|mov, PNG|JPEG|?), points offered*
- Place in queue
- Someone downloads it
- The file is locked when all blocks are taken (guard against stealing). blocks will be locked once someone has taken the task, and stays locked for, say, 2 days
- Render
- Upload
- Submitter will Accept/Reject
- Remove project from queue
Users will have stats too:
- Points*
- rating +/-
- completed blocks (status symbol)
- userstatus - active, suspended, awaiting confirmation...
*I think points would be a cool currency-type deal, where if you really wanted something done, you could offer points if the queue is especially long. It wouldn't bump your task up the queue, but people might want to earn points too.
You guys tell me if something like this is desirable. I could set it up, MySQL-backended, and hopefully not get myself banned from my host
