Scott, It may be that I could be bettering how I use ParaView. What I am doing is basically extracting frames as PNGs from a number of timesteps so I can perform some post processing on said frames on the same node. The product I am creating is a time machine - like these here. http://timemachine.cmucreatelab.org/wiki/Main_Page - I am basically just taking advantage of the rendering capabilities of ParaView to get my hd images :) The ending product just let's me through it on a server somewhere that is a pretty light load to share. But ParaView Web looks promising too, I might have to do some comparisons
Thanks!
