I did a restart for the povmodeler tool. I will use my favorit UML-Modeller and a code generation tool to do a lot of work automaticly.
The new approach is split into three components
The modeller will run on the workstation and is connected with the model store. This is a future scenario. The initial development will link the model store directly to the modeller only working on the local storage.
But all communication with the model store can be implemeneted, as it later makes no difference in the code.
The model will be hold in the model store. Multiple users can access the data in the model store as the render manager can do.
This way collaborative work can be done and rendering of parts of it as well, all in parallel.
This is the part where povray comes into play. As the model store runs all the communication with the modellers even the rendering is initiated from the storage node to the render managers.
This has the advantage as the model store is the only server in this construction and is well informed about the availability of different render nodes.
