Blender

The blender dispatcher can be used to distribute blender animation tasks. Each blender process will render a single frame and write it somewhere to disk. You can then later assemble all the single frames in a movie. Settings for this dispatcher are displayed in table 3.10. The dispatcher requires one parameter named ``frame'' which indicates the frame number to be rendered. Use the ``systematic search`` optimizer to generate the frame numbers (using a step of 1).
