Hello
I have just joined the site. I look forward to reading and following peoples problems as no doubt i will encounter many myself.
Right now Ive got a problem with the outcome of a days work. Im just doing level 0 shaping on a base mesh made in Maya. I was saving as i went and i even intermittently reopened the file to see it was okay. Ive read since that this can be problematic, the rewriting rather than the opening up.
What I should have done was save a new file each time. So on a different computer today the file will not open. I get an error essage saying the file is either too new(?) or corrupt. I renamed the .bak file but no use.
On the computer the file was created on yesterday however it does still open.
If i try to export this back to Maya (im thinking i can use a different file format to get it back into Mudbox eventually) i see nothing, no mesh and nothing in the outliner. Mudbox seems to be doing its part. Is all truly lost, do i have to go back to the start again or is there hope?
