You could try using something like "UltraVNC", but my assumption is that for
application like that (where lots of processor and graphics power are
needed) - you really should have two copies of it installed. One at home
and one at work. I cannot imagine trying (or why you would try) to run
something like 3D Studio over a remote session. On most systems, a great
project will look slow sitting in front of the machine - but taking that and
streaming all over the internet/network down to another machine?

your situation OR to give you an idea of where to look - do not dismiss
them lightly.
