The latest release of Caedium (v2.4) can now create high-quality movies, where each frame can be rendered by either POV-Ray or a Renderman-compliant renderer, such as Aqsis. Further, multiple frames can be rendered in parallel, either on a standalone multi-core computer or on a cluster running Windows HPC Server 2008. The ability to run high-quality renderers in parallel means it’s never been easier or faster to create great looking movies of your Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) results with Caedium

I’m somewhat surprised it only runs on WindowsHPCServer, most high-end HPC environments I know are still Linux-based.  Nonetheless, support for Renderman-compliant renderers is a big win, and I look forward to seeing who does it next đŸ™‚
