Abstract

Attend this valuable workshop to learn how to add powerful visualization capabilities to your courses through a freely available distributed rendering environment. Using campus and national resources, the TeraGrid Distributed Render Environment (TeraDRE) is a render farm implementation that uses open source software, as well as Alias Maya, for rendering images and animations. This workshop will explore the academic uses of animation and scientific visualization in addition to all aspects of implementation, including a variety of user-friendly interfaces for job submissions.
