Render via another computer on your own network?

Hi, I am new to daz3d and iray. Currently I like using my laptop to make my scenes, but rendering takes a while. I have a gaming computer with 2 graphics cards and figure that would be much better. I do however like being able to move around with my work (hence using the laptop). Is it possible to somehow render using my other computer's hardware over the network? 

 

Thanks

    Nothing to stop you copying the scene file across to the other machine and rendering there. It is even possible, though it can I think be a bit fiddly, to have a shared content library on a NAS - but you can certainly isntall your content on both machines. It isn't, at least currently, possible to control the render from a remote machine however.

    I don't use remote access myself, but presumably you could set up your other PC with DS, then remote into it from your laptop to start and/or check in on the render while it's going on the other PC?  Obviously limited to screen size, delay time, potential for security issues, etc.
