    3ds Max has "mental ray" incorporated into it
    "mental ray" is a top of the line renderer
    "mental ray" is now owned by nvidia
    "mental ray" is optimized to run on multiple nvidia GPUs and "render farms" if you mean these farms are multiple 2P Xeon servers linked together with high speed interconnects and slots for multiple GPUs
    "mental ray" will use as many GPUs and linked Xeons that you can throw at it
    This is pretty much state-of-the-art
    Definitely not cheap
    Many papers can be found explaining the details

    Yeah, $3675 for 3DS MAX. Not for still shots. Maybe if I were doing high res animations. Was thinking maybe building 2 nodes similar in composition to my current desktop.
