Reppu is a network-renderer for use with blender <http://www.blender.nl>.
It uses simple socket traffic to send .blend file and receive
rendered images, no NFS or rsh stuff is needed. This is good when using
computers in internet. (security of reppu is bad though, anyone can use it
if there is no proper firewall)

USAGE
-----

Using reppu is very simple, just start reppu server in each host you want
to use for rendering. 'reppu --server'.
Blender must be installed on each host !-)

Then start the client, e.g
'reppu -e 360 hieno.blend localhost abcdefg.org 192.168.0.7 abc.defg.fi'

This renders 360 frames.

>> 5/100 [hostname]

this means "hostname" starts to render frame 5 of 100.

PROBLEM WITH TEXTURES
---------------------

reppu can't send texture-images to the server, same textures must be
in same directory on every host. (use NFS or copy files manually).
