If you're thinking over whether you could build your own render farm, or are even just curious about what a render farm is (hint, it makes rendering faster), then this tutorial was created with you in mind!
In this video tutorial, I'll walk you through a really simple setup with no complicated configuration or assumed knowledge of networking or IT concepts required.
All you need is a couple of computers at your home or office, a wifi or ethernet network you can connect them to, and an addon we wrote (which is free)... oops, and Blender of course! We use 2.81 in the tutorial, but it works just the same in 2.79b and 2.80.
