[Beowulf] noob understanding

[Brice Hunt]

Speaking of render farms with 3D Studio Max, Autodesk has a "how to" at the 
following location:

Apparently, if you own a full version of 3DSMax, you don't need additional 
licenses to run the renderer portion of the software on additional machines 
and 3DSMax can be configured to run across multiple Windows machines; 
however, you will still need to buy extra Windows licenses for the extra 
machines.

You can find more information on what is available for Linux movies, 
animation, and 3D rendering at:

The list includes both free and commercial tools that are used by professional 
studios.

Good luck.
