Xgrid

[supanatral]

When your trying to render something and you use xgrid, doe that only use the processor on other peoples computer(s) or does that also use the local processor?

XGrid requires a "master" or "controller" computer, whose sole purpose is to divvy up a job and distribute the pieces to other computers. So one computer's processor is used only to split jobs up into chunks, and those chunks are worked on by the other computers in the grid.
