Render is black, why?

Transferred files between Mac and PC and the mesh in our render TOP is black - the file was working fine on the other computer. The light and render tops have both been replaced to no effect, I’ve changed every setting I can think of. Any ideas?

Hello,

Without any information on the different setup : os version, processor, graphic card, TD version and without the .toe itself, it is very difficult to help you.

But if you have a geometry Comp without specific material and without light, it can be the problem. The last version of TD on my PC have a emiting default phong (without any light, you can see the geometry), thats whas not the case on older version and perhaps on macOs (render is different between openGL, Vulkan and Metal).
