You could have bronze silver gold packages, You submit your own pc spec and you get placed in the same package, this is a share service. If you wish to use a silver or gold package to get something done quickly, you could pay a fee per frame or something on top of submitting your pc as a render node. I think most 3d artists have a decent enough spec as a work station, if that was multiplied by x then it would be rendered in no time.

I guess it would have to be distributed rendering so that if you go offline the frame can still be rendered using others. Heres a question, is there a limit to the amount of renderers that can be used to render 1 image? I.e. could you have 1000 computers on the same image? It all makes sense to me and I hope to see it in the future. Peer 2 peer rendering!

Technically there is not really a hard limit. But you hit an implicit limit rather soon when network overhead is killing the benefit. This will be even more troublesome if you do this over your ADSL line vs. 10G hehe
