Cool, and the structure for this is available, and broadband would be a
requirement for this ... we are talking about moving tens of megabytes of files
around the web ...
Yours,

The coolest thing would be to be able to send jobs out over the
Internet for rendering on other people's computers. Like the SETI@(protected)
project. You could have a Carrara screensaver installed, and any time
the screensaver is running, your machine makes itself available to
others for rendering. And when a job comes in, you could see the
rendering on your screen (hence the visual appeal of the screensaver).
You'd have an endless parade of interesting 3D work going by, and
you'd be helping people get their stuff done.
I suppose you could also have a "private mode" where your work is not
visible to other people, but if you're doing something commercial that
requires secrecy, then in my view you should just use your own
hardware to do the job.
