I vote for this!! I own 20 machines, with a single processor (2ghz + NVIDIA 7300), and 5 more (i7 + NVIDIA gtx260) it would be really great than i can render for example a rendered image and soon i hope to render a video with the advanced rendering plug-in with the power of those machines. For example luzrender can do that with the CPU + GPU that would be really awsome.

Thankx for reading, i love this software, really.

Agreed I do have a few machines running at all time with low utilisation that could have a client loaded on them a la SETI at home :)

If you want to contribute to the implementation of distributed rendering in Sweet Home 3D, look at Helios. I never tried it but it should give you interesting tips.

Why don't you try to export the file in OBJ format and open it in some big 3D-Modeling package like 3ds Max? There you can have access to network rendering and other fancy stuff.
