octaviuz Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hi ! I got an office space where i have the machines /server /fast interneto..when working past dinner time or at unreasonable hours (often) I do it from home, by using RDC (remote desktop connection) on win7, it works well with most apps, but Houdini wont run trough it. It runs using TeamViewer,,,but is sloooooooooooow. I have a gaming video card at home and nothing too fancy at the office, which works fine, i don't know if this is a driver issue (got latest nvidia drivers) or some configuration i can change in houdini? thanks O/.

kumpa Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I might be wrong but as far as i know nothing comes close to splashtop in terms of speed and portability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 You could look into HP RGR/RGS, as it's excellent on both Windows and Linux: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/workstations/remote-graphics-software.html It is a commercial product, though. It seems to handle apps which use advanced OpenGL features without slowdowns. I remember using NX-based (eg. OpenNX) VNC services and they got slow and glitchy with top apps like Houdini.

Erik_JE Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 https://www.nomachine.com/works great for me with all applications. It just streams the desktop as is using same video codec as youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiaranM Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 It's been a few years, but I had a very good experience with Chrome Remote Desktop and Houdini on Windows. It's free of course, so long as you don't mind Google watching you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ispep Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 tightvnc is another free one. I've used teamviewer/tightvnc/chrome remote desktop myself and they all do the job, but its not perfect by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
