Abstract
Modern rendering software requires powerful GPUs with the latest hardware features in order to utilize all of the newest rendering techniques. Many users do not have access to this hardware, and rely on remote server farms or reduced performance to achieve usable results. In this thesis, the software is designed and created to allow for a user to share the resources of their computer with another, modeling a split-screen setup like was common in the past, but without requiring users to be in the same location.
By designing the software from the ground up to support this, instead of adding the capabilities to a finished product, the software can achieve higher performance than would be possible with each user rendering on their own machine. The software provides means to allow users to share their hardware capabilities with others, making high-quality graphics more freely available.
