Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

well...that could only happen to me user added image user added image user added image user added image

Being the dumb ass I am, I noticed a somehow merged vertex on my horse(already fully rigged). So I split it, fixed and merged edges. My whole object disappeared...and I can't get it back. It is still there in the outliner... user added image
-deleting all history did not give any results user added image
-deleting all tweak/split/merge nodes in Notepad did not give any results user added image

Somebody help...please... user added image

Undo or load from a previous save.

It's good practice to save in stages as you go and not just save over the same file, just in case.

well, since all my efforts to restore the object failed, I restarted it.
NURBS this time, for a change. Each leg is birailed, then fillet-blended to a curve on body.
