Hi All

I have a razor laptop with a 2080ti on board and was wondering if there is any way to connect the laptop to my PC which has a 2070 super and harness the laptops gpu power whilst rendering , using redshift/arnold with Maya currently.

thanks

It's easy if you're rendering image sequences. Just use a render manager such as Thinkbox Deadline which is free for up to 10 nodes. Your two PCs/Laptops just have to be hooked up through a plan or wifi network.

If you want to do rendering on both at the same time for a single image, that's where it gets more complicated and you'll need to check if maya has this possibility built in or not.
