nice idea, but this is already implemented in OpenSG. The BalancedMultiWindow can be used to do this. You can use it to balance the load e.g. between 4 servers on a 2x2 Wall or you can use 20 servers to render on this 2x2 wall. Parallel rendering is done with sort-first. What's missing in OpenSG is balanced Sort-Last for a multi display wall or cave. Marcus ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
