Water looks different on different computer

Hello. I created a project at school and when I got home and opened the project, the water got dark.

At school, all of the water looked like the blue color. At home I am getting this black color inside the water zone. Changing quality settings did not work.

Help. Its due on tuesday lol.

Unsure why it might be but just an idea:

  • is the computer at home on a different brand of video-card ATI vs Nivida, or the local CPU’s integrated-graphics?
  • different version of driver?
  • color settings on the monitor at home?
  • using Vulkan instead of whatever your setup at school is?

Inside the project, if the color-value in the object’s properties aren’t different, then I would think it’s just-a-display issue; the underlying thing has not changed, just how the local-machine is rendering it.

Maybe the material on the water is using a feature not well-supported on your current card?

Make a copy, save your edits one of them. Open them both at school on Monday to make sure they work?

Thank you for your response.
I dug out my older computer from the closet and for some reason it works on it just fine. I will figure out what is going on after the semester is over.

Good!

So long as your project is intact, that’s the important part. Glad I was able to reassure you.

Good luck on your project! :smiley:
