Rendering using Thunderbolt Bridge

[Richard1000]

Hey forum-goers,

I have temporarily moved into a co-working space at work and do not really have the option to set up Network Rendering.

I was wondering if anyone has been successful, or now if it's possible if I connected my two MacBooks with a thunderbolt cable, could I use Thunderbolt Bridge to render on the second machine whilst working on the primary machine?

Many thanks,

Richard.

I would assume not, since Thunderbolt/ Lightning is a strict master/ slave thing, not a universal network protocol. At least with a stock Mac I don't think it's possible. If at all I would assume that you need some specific piece of software that creates a tunneled network via Thunderbolt or even a specific hardware box that handles the protocol and signal conversion.

Thanks for your response!
I'll have to think another temporary work around for the time being.

I'd investigate Render Garden.  Adobe may have killed off multiprocessing, but this piece of software bring it back.
