mental ray for Maya supports satellite network rendering.
After installing Maya, you may want to expand the product's scene rendering capability by installing mental ray. This rendering engine can be installed on the same computer as Maya for basic rendering. To better handle large rendering jobs, mental ray can be configured for network rendering on multiple computers, using either mental ray Satellite or mental ray Standalone.
A separate installer is used for mental ray. If you have Maya media, it includes a mental ray folder that contains the installer. If you downloaded MaMayaya from an Autodesk website, you can download the mental ray installer from the same site.
