My model disappeared in Maya file

[mukka_burra]

Hello there.

I worked on the model and the last thing I did it was duplicate instance, then continued to work on it, everything was fine. Then I just saved it and closed. Next day I opened the file and the model is gone, but I still can see it in outliner. Is it anyhow possible to return my model back? Is it kind of a maya bug? Any solutions??

PS I used polygons and saved as *.mb

Thanks

Well it really depends, In general using ascii give you much better better chances of rescue (tough you shoul ennable incremental save NOW, as in pronto. Things like this happen a lot when you work for extended periods either because your tired or so).

So first things first, open the hypergraph, check if theres a intermediate shape somewhere. You wont see it in outliner. But the hypergraph will show if thats the case. Unmark them as intermediary. Alternate is to roll back your history nodes till it works. If you lost your history then your screwed.
