Crunch time

Stealth update, clients arriving in 30 minutes to see the work in progress which I have just finished rebuilding after a NASTY NASTY CRASH... Maya has this horrid habit of crashing while trying to save, corrupting the file and contributing to my stress levels. I now save my projects as Ascii files, and sometimes I can go and edit the file, recovering at least some of the work.

Multiple versions of the files also help...

I do enjoy the look on a clients face when they come to see your work and you tell them "the computer crashed, i have nothing to show you": an adrenalin-inducing mixture of horror, skepticism, and disgust....
