One of my friends is really big into video editing and 3d work with adobe and cinema 4d. I found out how to have both of his computers render the same thing at the same time, but he was wondering if there is a way that he can use the power of both computers at the sane time while producing rather than just rendering. For rigs he has a MacBook pro and some prebuilt Windows rig. I don't know what is in the desktop but it is not by anyone like hp or Dell ect. Yet to find out what it is and what it has.

How do you use two computers to render?

With a rendering farm. In short you save the work to a network drive that 2 or more rigs can connect to and they work together to render it. There is a lot more than that but that is a very simple short way to put it.

I know the basics. I am asking how you set it up in C4D

Ok, its with one computer being a server and others being a client. It is a web based server type thing, just local obviously. This is what I found on it.
