+# 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
