In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Deleted history, rig is lost?

Well, I deleted history not knowing it deletes the skin weights....

I already saved and exited it. Is there any way to get the skin weight info back or am I screwed?

Did you have incremental save turned on? If not, then I'm afraid that yes, you are screwed. :/

The only reason I deleted history was to get rid of seams because of split up meshes... I had rigged 28 models.... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So frustrated right now. I didn't know it would delete skin weights. A weeks worth of work, gone. Would delete all by type NONDeformer History have cleared FBX export normals? Because that was my reason, because the normals would export wrong until I deleted history.

I believe that would have worked, yes. You can turn on incremental save in the save option box. It will create an incrementalSave folder in your current working directory. Every time you save, it will automatically create a backup.
