Initial commit.

# vim: set nosta noet ts=4 sw=4:
#
# Split a single frame into 100 separate pieces, for blender network
# rendering.
#
# Assumptions:
# 	- Shared storage between all render nodes.
# 	- A method for simultaneous blender execution on all nodes (even
# 	  just ssh)
#   - Re-constituting the image performed out of band (most easily with
#     ImageMagick toolset)
#
# Copy this script into the same directory as your blend file, then run
# like so across your render farm:
#
#    blender file.blend -b -P chunked_render.py
#
# When all nodes are finished rendering their chunks, you'll have 100
# separate images.  Combine them back into a single image like so, if
# you have ImageMagick installed:
#
#   montage -background none -mode concatenate -tile 10x10 chunk_* rendered.jpg
