This is meant to be a general guide on how to render for the On-A-Slant project. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that it is a little hacked together. We're interested in rendering the frames, not having a elegant rendering farm. So there are some…rough edges, shall we say.

First, there are two main sites to find information about what's currently rendering. At the bottom of http://hrothgar.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/maya/, clicking “Show Current Statistics” will show which machines are presently rendering, including the frame, start time, and estimated progress.

http://hrothgar.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/maya/status/ shows the current status, and a list of the last 1000 frames rendered. You can click on the links for each frame to see what the results are. To save space, the non-watermarked image (i.e., no frame number in the top left corner) are generally not saved, as we don't have the space for such things. But the watermarked image is always available until deleted by you.
