Yes you saw well... distributed rendering... Thanks to Roman Lut and his project hxGrid ( http://www.deep-shadows.com/hax/hxgrid.htm#Download ) I made a distributed map renderer in just one week very easy. It can render a 8192x8192 ambient occlusion map with more than 1000 rays per sample in just a few seconds using 30 nodes!
I'm working on new and superfast map renderers for the next version, stay tuned!
