Interesting....

From MacCentral:

special capabilities for Mac OS X -- Shake Qmaster network rendering management software, along with unlimited network rendering licenses. This enables Shake users to set up a rack of Apple Xserves or a cluster of Power Mac G4s as a render farm. Apple also noted that Shake 3 has been optimized for Apple's new Xserve cluster configuration.

Shake Qmaster also supports Rendezvous, the zero-configuration networking technology first introduced with Jaguar's 2002 release. Shake Qmaster handles fault tolerance if one node in the cluster goes offline, and features an open architecture that supports third-party applications like Alias|Wavefront's industry-standard 3D rendering and animation software Maya.

It's not that expensive either only US$5000 for shake. Man I'm getting my copy today.

I thought shake was for windows too but it states Apple, Linux and irix only....

Not that im complaining...

It was for Windows but then Apple bought it and killed off the PC side. Personally I think it's a strategy that will backfire.
