Network rendering - scene asset collection

I have two iMacs, an older 21 inch i5 and a newer 27 inch i7. For obvious reasons, I'd like to use the newer, larger iMac for scene creation and then save the scene and all its assests to a shared network drive and Iray render the scene on the older, smaller iMac. That way, I can continue to work on other scenes while rendering. As it stands now, once I start an Iray render, I can't do any other work in Studio until the render is complete, which can sometimes take a few hours.

In Poser, there is/was a Python script which would collect all scene assests in a single folder but I no longer use Poser because of Genesis compatibility issues. I've yet to find anything similar for Studio. Does such a thing exist that I'm unaware of? This would make using my network to both create and then render scenes much more feasable; create the scene, gather all of its assests data in a single folder along with the Daz scene file, move the folder to a shared drive or perhaps a thumb drive, open and then render the scene on my other iMac. 

Any advice?
