RenderGarden, a brand new Adobe After Effects script from Mekajiki, splits your comp into a specified number of segments (referred to as seeds) and then renders them to multiple background command line windows (called Gardeners).

Through segmenting the comp into multiple seeds, you can fully maximize your CPU cores on a single machine or across multiple machines with network rendering.
