Hi @Anonymous

How did you go about transferring the project?

Did you move the entire project folder or did you export everything?

Hi!

Make sure to use the exact same Maya and renderer version on both systems with same Preferences in Maya, like Evaluation Mode.

Even better also use the same OS version + CPU.

The graphic card does only matter if you use a GPU renderer.

Please upload a scene-file (just a part of your scene like foreground object + lights).
