Using Blender on a Computer in another room So the situation is that I have a PC in a room in my house and I would like to be able to use that PC whilst I'm in another room, bear with me, as I have just started a family and don't want to be spending my time separated from my wife and child.  The computer is a meaty thing and I want to be able to use that but from the comfort of my living room. 

What kind of options are there?  One thing I'm looking at is using my old laptop with Remote Desktop to access the PC but it is and old clunky laptop, is this a good way of going?  Does Remote Desktop essentially allow me to use the power of my big PC via the screen of my laptop? (seems unlikely) I've looked into Wifi Monitors, massive cables etc but was looking for a way to keep it light.  I want to use Blender and Davinici Resolve, is this a nonsense or is it possible? Will the speed of the laptop effect the speed that Blender operates at or is it merely video feed?

Any ideas would be great.

There is an addon to render using another computer, it's called netrender and it should be already in blender. Here's the instructions and stuff: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc%3A2.6/Manual/Render/Performance/Netrender

I hope this helps you
