Sounds great!
Erm, where do I find the "dithering"-option in the GUI? And what does it do?

There is no option for it in the GUI currently.
It reduces banding in 8-bit images.
Check the head renders here: http://www.indigorenderer.com/forum/vie ... start=3780
the second one has dithering on.

Ah, very cool!
But dithering is automatically deactivated when rendering material ID pass and foreground alpha?

Finally found the time to test network rendering :D:D:D:D
gigabit throughtput works like a charm now, didn't even dream of making 120mb/s :D

though i have little drawback, you obviosly changed sth in the clients log file... it's a little view information now...
liked to see the rendered samples/s plus filesize that are transfered
