Scripts to make Blender render projects cooperatively over a network

This is designed for environments where you only have access to a Blender GUI, and otherwise limited access to the computer. Examples of such environments include school computer classes, internet cafes and gaming centers.

To use this, a control server is required. This must be a computer that has a publicly addressable IP address. Various VPS providers will do.

Design goals:

• should not require any interaction after typing in a bootstrap script
• should handle worker computers connecting and disconnecting at any time
• should not use any libraries other than the ones built into Blender
• should use the hard drive as little as possible, and delete all created files as soon as we can
• should support switching between different projects at runtime, without resetting the worker computers
• should leave the GUI interactive
