It sort of sounds like a history build-up issue…… Do you delete your history often?

Also, what version of Maya are you using, and what are your tech specs? :confused:

Well not often ... version -> 8.0

My pc ... - > Intel 3,06Ghz , 1 Gb or DDR RAm + Gforce 7300 GT

I think it might be coused by restart of my pc while i was working but i have the same thing happend in my "Breakdance Scean " my Pc restart and i could open my scean and model again ... just don't know what the reason is :confused:

OK. Just a few more questions. Did you save it as .ma or .mb, and what is the size of the file?

hey "ColdWave" sorry 2 hear your having problems with ur maya man.

i also encountered something like that 3 to 4 weeks ago, my area blacked out serveral times when i was working on maya, and the worst part is that i coulnt get back my project, even in the temp it was lost, i had to redo the whole lots of parts i lost, i was so pissed off.

Then came THIS weird error saying Your Maya had 2 be close cuz of Unknown reason and then i get to buttons 2 click at Report to Autodesk or Close. that error kept on coming for like a week when i opened that project then i decided not 2 use maya for awhile, then i could open the project when i let maya rest but the problem that i started facing after that is that in my scene when i zoom in or out my scene tends to disappear in a very close range zoom. its like my whole project was crushed i had 2 go 2 the previous saves.

so im sorry 2 hear u lost ur work but sometimes i just wish that Maya Could Have the Temporary Memory save if your machine suddenly goes off ( Like Microsoft word)..

oh well :shakehead

It is 5.01 MB well i was modeling and PC restart ... no save

Wait a sec…… Slow down some, I don’t know if I’m understanding you right. You say that when you open the file in Maya it crashes Maya.

This makes it sound like Maya deleted the file……

Also, what file type was it (.ma or .mb)?

I upload the file here ->

try to download it and try to open it

Well, I could open it up, but it took a while. I got a ton of errors in the SE like these:

When I deleted the history, it got rid of a ton of those, but there’s still a bunch of them there.

Unfortunately (for you), I have Maya 8.5. If I save the scene out, you might have some problems with it. Hopefully there’s someone here with 8.0 here that can help you out.

Just remember that all is not lost with that scene.
:beer:

@jr.who
Save it up as fbx if it's a scene without animation.

@Coldwave and jr.who
Or save it as MA and then download a MA version convertor at highend3d.com

Hope it helps.

Ok if you can save it for me .. and i will download the convertor :beer:

But if I save it as an .ma file, won’t something mess up with it? I don’t have a highend3d.com account, so I couldn’t do that.

Also, if I save it as .ma, won’t it get really big?

Try i don't know :)

Well if you don't try you wouldend know :)

You don't need an account at highend coldwave dose.

Well it's worth the filesize if it works :), it's just 25% more.

And if zipped it you can save 70 or more %

OK, I’ll try it tonight. Email me your email address coldwave, as that would be much easier to send the file to.

OK, tried it, but got this error:
// Error: File contains unknown nodes or data. To preserve this information, the current file type cannot be changed. //

Anyone know what it is? :confused:

I’m gonna try fbx now……
