Helios:

Helios enables the distributed rendering of 3D models building on open source technologies that are all 100% pure Java. The rendering engine is Sunflow with the distributed computations managed by the JGrid service-oriented Grid system that uses the Jini technology as its base.

Helios 0.1.2 for JDK 1.5

Due to a small patch on the included Sunflow binary now users with JDK 1.5 can also install the new 0.1.2 version of Helios. I think mainly Mac users will appreciate this as for Mac OS X there is only a developer preview available from JDK 1.6. You can download both a full bundle and an update version of Helios for JDK 1.5.
