Render producing strange noise in Maya Software Renderer (2018)

[Anonymous]

Hello.

I am taking a class using Maya Renderer in our projects. We are supposed to render our projects at Production Quality with Raytracing on. My issue is that the renders end up containing a bunch of black noise in the shadows. I'm not sure why this is happening because when I render using the same settings on a school computer the noise disappears. I've attached screenshots to show that the noise only shows up once the render finishes.
P.S. My comma key is broken. My apologies.

Hi!

They are not the same.

- Different Color Space / Gamma settings.

- Different image sizes.

- Different file types.

This all leads to different results. Even using different systems for rendering can lead to slightly different results.

This helped me find he solution. Color correction and effects were being applied and so I disabled them in preferences → Color management. Thanks.
