So how can this be explained?

Rendering out a character in animation mode on my pc from within maya 2011 is working just fine.

I then decide that I want my studio pc to render the second half in animation mode...

I up load the exact scene file with the same calculated vrmaps, the folder paths are identical on both pc's but the result is very different, so what has broken??

looks like missing tex map from a light?

All texture maps are viewable from the same mapped drives!

Do you get any warnings or errors on the machines? If you specify the -verboseLevel=4 option and compare the outputs from the two renders, are there any differences?
