The Condor Render Portal uses available students systems as a distributed render cluster. JSR 168 portlets are used to submit jobs, check the status, and interact with the render systems. There are currently over 2800 systems available for the Render Portal, all of which are on a 3 year life cycle, guaranteeing a fairly fast and up to date set of hardware. Currently Maya and Blender are supported on the render server, but other rendering clients can easily be depoyed.
