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.

Maya File error

I have a Maya File that keeps launching and crashing with a critical error. Anyone know a way to check the file for the damage? or a way to maybe open it just long enough to safe a new version of it?

It's an ASCII file

Alright I am pretty much caught up with where this file was at anyway so dont worry to much about it. How ever if anyone comes up with a solution or knows a good place to learn this type of stuff to fix later problems please keep me informed.

It might be a corrupted DLL, DeformSlice.dll. You might want to try reinstalling, as this may happen again.

I recreated the problem, its using Transfer Attributes with UV selected instead of World, Local, or Component . Happens everytime I try and use that selection.
