Christiaan,
I've been trying unsuccessfuly to get Maxwell to run under Xgrid. It seems to me that it should work in theory - maybe I'm just doing something wrong.
With the current set of Maxwell command line tools Xgrid would only really be useful for farming out individual frames of an animation. However, once we have access to a command line tool that combines two MXI files then Xgrid becomes a very powerful tool for cooperative rendering.
If we could get such a tool and a 64-bit G5/Altivec optimized version of Maxwell.... okay, okay I'm awake now.
