Futuristic Cityscape

I know lol,but im saying its strange Ive never experienced something liek this before...

 

That's really odd, do you happen to have Autobak enabled? Because it has an automatic saving system, there'll be three files that you can recover.

 

OK<, I GIVE UP!
Thanks for all the help and effort guys!
Im new I will work more as I go, it isnt the only chance, I will start a new more "normal" lool, project for me!
Cheers and thanks all

 

What version of Max are you using? I recall having this problem with 5 or 6. It had to do with the way the program instanced the max file into memory. If Windows was shut down improperly, even if the file was saved, a sudden reboot would wipe it out because the data wasn't physically being written.

I know Discreet addressed this issue, but sorry, I don't believe there was ever a recovery fix.

 

I's a pity.

I really liked this model...

 

lol, my friend had a copy of the scene, haahha, and Im getting it now and see if I can recover it.
It gave me a hard time anyway, though I wont propably use it for the purpose I wanted to but either a nice animation with spaceships flying or just a matte, lol
cheers
