Rendering on separate machine?

Hey guys. My main machine is a Core i7 laptop that I've got Daz and tons of content packs installed on but it's got an Intel graphics chip so I can't take advantage of iRay. I have a second laptop with a slower processor but that has an Nvidia GPU. Is there any way to render using that second computer's graphics chip without having to install ALL of the content packs on that machine as well??

I know DS doesn't have network rendering capabilities but is there a way to at least "package" a scene to where it has all of the components (figures, morphs, wardrobe, materials, etc...) so that I can just put it on a flash drive and bring it over to the other computer to render?

    IRay does not require an NVidia card to render, it can use your laptop's CPU only. I don't know if you can save a scene with all of it's components on a flash drive, but I'm sure you will get an answer in a short while

    yeah but I want to get the benefits of faster render time that an Nvidia GPU offers, otherwise I'd just keep using 3Delight.

    I'm afraid that it is not a simple as that.

    The recommended cards have 4 GB of RAM, and many CUDA cores. I have an older NVidia card, and it reduces the rendering time by a very small margin. Unless you have a really good NVidia card, you wont see a great deal of difference, it is not a magic bullet unfortunately.
