	Yes, and it's AWESOME. It saved me DAYS on some volume rendered
movies I
	made. Brian Wylie set me straight a while back on the vtk list.
Take a
	look at the attached pdf.

Wow that's great!
So, I'm a newbie and I want to understand how Paraview works doing this
parallel volume rendering... The approach used is a client/server
separation, load balancing is achieved by a kd tree (D3) distrbution and
the final image is composited by the server hardware alpha blending...
Am I right? 
Is MPI used? 
It's possible that the ordered compositing uses the Sandia's IceT
library?


Cheers
Mario
