Hi everyone 
My name is James, my self and my good friend Jeremy presented at blender conference 2016 on an addon were working on. The addon connects computers together so that you can render on any number of computers, from just two up to large numbers in a studio setting. The unique part is that you dont have to manage files or continually upload data, just connect and then even small changes are propagated automatically.
Wed really love feedback from the community on our work, and to do that were currently building an alpha which will be made available to download from our website. So far we’re on track, its looking like late January 2017 at this stage. Please ask us questions, comments on this thread would be great!
We’d like to know If you would like to test this addon when it is available, if you do, please visit our website - http://www.crowdrender.com.au - where you can subscribe to be notified of when the alpha can be downloaded.
In the mean time, take a look at these youtube videos we’re featured in
