Rendering Animations with Distributed Applets

- In the late 1990's, Java technology brought the hope that distributed applets could be utilized to render animations across the Internet. Yet, this hope was never fully realized. Taking into account new developments in web application technology and the Sunflow renderer, we reexamine the possibility of distributed rendering applets. Moreover, this paper presents the architecture of RenderWeb, our distributed rendering system that uses applets to quickly render projects created in 3D applications such as Blender.
