Remote Rendering in iray or filament

RemiliaSutton

hey guys! got a bizzare question for ya.

I have a decent laptop with 32gb max ram and an i7 and a old as heck gpu and i have a upgraded powerful and very capabible desktop computer. ive been cranking out lots of renders on iray and filament on my desktop while everyone was stuck at home but things are opening up where i am and people are asking me to come visit left and right-most of which im not exactlly interested in seeing but my folks are and theyre dragging me along with. So i pose this question:

is there a way to create the scenes on my laptop ie my friends house and send it over to my desktop in my basement hit render and render the scene or even a group of scenes in my render qeue without having to manually phyisically save the scene to a flash drive or whatever take an uber from my friends house transfer the file from my laptop to my desktop render it and take an uber back here to my friends house? like instead do it all remotly between my desktopp and laptop? because that'd be a lot of money for uber and im gonnna be here a while on family vacay so....

Iray Server can do that, for a price. If you had a sutiable client (must support OpenGL at least) you could also, I believe, use a remote desktop to access DS.

Yeah I thought if iray server but it's too pricey. So I just setup teamviewer free edition remote access software. It works okay but because my rendering computer is dual monitors and my remote computer is a 17" laptop it's kinda annoying but hey at least it's free and gets the job done at the end of the day.
