According to this story in Business Week

According to folks inside Apple's Rendezvous development program, a prominent maker of 3-D rendering software will release a new version of its product with Rendezvous compatibility. Aside from allowing graphics geeks to share images and information, the software will have the ability to check CPU (central processing unit) usage on other Rendezvous-enabled machines around the office -- and send intensive tasks to the computer currently handling the lightest workload. It's a form of distributed computing with no middleman required.
Hmmmm. Could this be Lightwave? My first guess is Cinema 4D, because they have a track record of implementing platform specific features, whereas Newtwek tries to make their app more platform agnostic.
