Anybody heard of anyone working on such a thing? I'm tired of having to wait until i go to sleep to start my big animation renders... I think I could do something like doing a script that would modify a .pz3 file, set it to only render 10 frames, send it to another machine, auto start.... Re-inventing the wheel sucks though.

You can't run more than one copy of Poser on a LAN, but you can do something like this with BatchGen. There's a demo in freestuff>utilites

Batchgen is pretty cool, but...... How about it, folks? Create your full scene, complete with all the animations, save it to a PZ3. run a utility, tell it how many machines you have available with poser, it goes in the PZ3 file, creates new PZ3 files that have split the animation frames up among the specified computers, starts 'em up, renders the animation sequence, then takes the resulting AVI file segments and joins them together. I can see a pretty simple way to do it, but I'm wayyyyyyy to lazy. and only have 1 poser license.

Your best bet is to wait for Poser 5. They'll probably add network rendering (I hope). Pretty much every other 3d application has this.
