Re: are render farms merely a dream?

There is Gmax, which was made by discreet for game mods, but has now been discontinued by Autodesk. If someone has a copy of Flight Simulator 9/2004, you can get it without downloading from disk one (IIRC). You can also download it from Turbosquid.
Gmax is pretty much a watered down version of 3DS Max, with no rendering ability. I'm not sure about types of modeling, but it at least has polygon modeling, so you would be able to model and animate with that. I'm not sure what the rules have to say about Gmax, though.

We have five or six decent robotics computers in the teacher lead's classroom; four for general use, one as a data dump, and one that is reserved for a server (probably just Jabber, but possibly our website as well) if/when we get permission. We would also be able to use the other computers in that room (at least twenty others) for rendering, if anyone on our team ever feels like learning the software (I consider myself reasonably proficient, having used it for a bit under a year, but nobody else has even tried to start using it).
