Setting up Daz across 3 PCs on Home network-tips?

sunnyjei

Hopefully some of you Daz experts with experience can chime in to help this newbie :) I have my main desktop that I've been using for creating scenes and rendering in Daz but I want to improve my workflow. I have an older pc and a decent laptop that aren't being used and I'd like to change that. Has anyone successfully done this (use multiple pcs in your home network to destribute some of the rendering) and have any tips, a link to a tutorial(s), or details on how they did it? I would mainly like to create scenes on my main pc (currently its the only one with Daz and Daz library), save the files, control the pc in the other room from my main pc to send it files to start rendering as well as my laptop. My 3 PCs are all currently connected to the home network via wifi but I haven't set up any kind of remote access/control. Looking online I see a lot of info but I wonder if any of you have specific tips related to making it easier since I mainly want to do this to move rendering off my main pc.

Again any help would be appreciated!

Assuming they're all PC's and you have the admin login for each this is pretty simple.

First share your asset libraries to the other devices. They need all the assets in the same locations in order to render a scene.

To move the scene, start DS and start the render you'll need remote desktop. You should find and follow a tutorial online for setting up your machines for that.

Unless it is completely impractical for some reason, I would recommend losing the wifi and hardwiring those PCs with ethernet cable - it will be faster and more reliable for the amounts of data you'll be using.

Thanks :) unfortunately it is impractical- don't think anyone would appreciate me drilling a hole in the floor/ceiling. Plus, since my internet provider made me bump to unlimited I might as well use it :)
