Overview
The ResPower Super/Farm is the premiere Internet Render Farm.
A render farm is a collection of computers that accelerates the rendering
process, the conversion of 3D designs into viewable animations. An Internet
render farm is simply a farm that is remotely accessible via the Internet.
Think of it as a film developing lab, but for 3D graphics. With ResPower,
you simply upload your 3D files, submit them to our 750+ node render farm, and watch
your animations render with uncanny speed.

Maya Bug: IBL textures will not link properly. The result is that even though the Maya GUI shows the IBL map with a relative path, it is stored fully-qualified, and it fails to render. Workaround: Save in .ma format, change to relative path with text editor.
