SAVE FUCKING OFTEN.AN HOUR AND A HALF OF RETOPO WORK THAT IS DUE FUCKING TOMORROW JUST CRASHED AS I WAS SAVING AND I CANT OPEN IT.SAVE. OFTEN.
THIS MESSAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY ALL OF MY HATE
Cool story, bro.An hour and a half is a pittance compared to what I myself, and others have lost. It's always awesome.Perhaps the coolest part of this story is that it was retopo and now you have to redo that boring crap. I've been there.
I've lost a years worth of work with an accidental reformat. I think it was the one time I wasn't angry because if I let that get to me, I would have killed someone. Anyway all I can do is move ahead. Choo choo.
>>65475>>65476I have 3dsmax save up to 99 autobacks every.. I think 2 and a half minutes. That plus my ctrl+s-an I have burnt into my head, I wont ever have to lose any more work again.
>Not saving every 10 minutesYou learn to do this with software like Photoshop that lack many undo, but have the revert to last save function.
>>65491Ctrl + Alt + z for Undo History in Photoshop.It's the equivalent of multi-undo.
>>65487Old work always looks like ass compared to what you can do now, anyway..
>uvmap>max screws up>even undo cant bring your uvmaps back>suicide
Ctrl+S is so ingrained into my skull that I have a habit of pressing it instead of Alt+W. So I save every 2-3 minutes anyway.
>>65475>>65476u mad?
>>65587looks like you grew up and made more money boi!
>>65475Incremental backups.
This is why I like programming. It saves every time you compile.
>>65475If you'r saved file isn't 0kb / 1kb or so, you should try making new scene, and importing content fro m old file - saved my ass several times, even if not all objects/modifiers were in place.
>>65475pffffft.... hour and a half..... Once 3Ds Max saw fit to delete its own scenes folder due to a bug, four years of unbacked scenes and models down the fucking drain. I actually quit modeling for a year because of that shit.
>>65786Who doesn't back 4 years worth of stuff?
>>65790>Who doesn't back 4 years worth of stuff?me... weren't you paying attention?
>>65701Congratulations on your aspergers diagnosis!
