    Hello all,
    I've tried a few Asset store plugins but can't manage to get this working.
    I'd like to create multiple scenes and have a different computer trigger them live.

    A dedicated machine would render the animations, the other computer would control them (play, pause, next scene). Maybe the controller machine can pass through parameters.

    Does anyone know where I should start? I'm a designer, not a developer.

    Thanks
    James

    Use any networking API and learn how to implement some simple messaging using it. Then in response to a specific message you send from one machine, on the other you have it change scenes. How to do the first part requires more than a forum post to explain, so just read the documentation for whatever networking API you choose.
