URGENT! Lost my controller!

Post by Rodia » Tue Nov 20, 2018 9:08 pm

Hello.
While I was animating with a controller, suddenly the same controller just dissapeared from the other animations. I've copied the controller by cloning one animation with it, like 1 week ago. I did it four times. Today I was working in the last animation, and I realized that the other three copied animations didn't have the cloned controllers. In fact, the mesh animates and deforms returned to a early stage of creation, when I used to capture the movements in the controller. It seems very odd.

I need to know if I can get back these controllers, or if I have to redo all the controller work again in each animations. Also, I would like to know a way to avoid this problem.

Thank you.

Hello,

So did you save your project ( as in save frequently ) ?
This is not the perfect solution but you can try clicking on File -> Restore to Checkpoint...
It will give you a list of save checkpoints to restore your project from. This allows you to recover to previously saved versions.

Thanks

Thank you. That saved me some work. I'll work around it from now on.
