Lending Computers

[BuddyB309]

We all know that rendering can be a pain. Sitting there waiting for the computer to get done. We all wish we could have a rendering farm or more computers and this lead me to an idea. What about other animators helping each other out by donating their computer when they aren't going to use it.

One animator A would send the project file to animator B and tell him which frames he needs to render and all the other specs. When animator B is asleep or gone for the day they can set the computer to render those frames and send the video back to animator A. Then Animator A has to help out Animator B in the future.

I think this would be a great way to bring us closer together and to learn from each other even more. My question is how many of you would give up your computer for a night to help someone else out with their project?

You can use this forum to post a request for computers or just PM me and send the project file using my email address for my computer is open for rendering. It has plenty of power to tackle any project file thrown at it.
