So the reason I've been looking for a render farm software is so that I can have all the computers rendering the frame at the same time. Crowd Render doesn't do this, which means it's purely for having machines that aren't on the same network render an animation in total. It would be nice if the plugin was a standalone program that allowed you so simply activate the computers at the same time so that I would have all of their threads working on the same frame. Because if I have a 12 thread machine working with a 2 thread one, then the 2 thread does nothing and the 12 thread does all of the work. So could this addon be turned into a standalone program with this functionality?

Hi Tim, no its alright please! You're not wasting our time! Looking forward to you testing it :)
Sorry, I didn’t look at any other videos. Sorry for wasting your time.

Hi Tim, ummm, it does do this... its been built from the local network up. Its the peer to peer and peer to cloud parts that are new. All of our videos and posts to date have shown connecting computers together on a local network to render single frames as well as animations.
We're going to send you the software so you can try this for your self now you've registered, but rest assured you will be able to connect your own hardware locally and render either single frames or sequences.
All the best James
