Like a Remote Blender Render Farm? :) I can see Renderfarms. Renting out processorkraft remotely. With free software, it would be a fair deal. Since it would be given you may set up your own render farm if so desired. :) Or just being able to let your home-server do the heavy job while you edit on a smaler device in timbuktu? But at the same time this reflection pushes me back to the blur of the cloud. Renderfarms and remote filestorage already exist...? hmm... Guess i am thankfull for the information, need to read up on this. :D Set H.
