hey guys, I've been working on a model for a while and it's not showing up in my viewport. I've tried using Display>Show>All, which didn't work. I've duplicated it a bunch of times and now there's some things in the outliner (set1, set2, a bunch of groups(??)) that don't seem to do anything, and deleting all history doesn't seem to work. The two balls in my scene are eyes, and for whatever reason they show up. They have the same material as the other objects (Artie10-12), though the other objects don't show up.

Anyways, I'm stumped. Thanks for reading, and if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them.

    Are you in Isolate Selected mode? You can also selecting all in the outliner and applying a fresh material to it. If you export an OBJ or FBX and reimport in a new scene are object there? Are those objects not showing up because they are too small or too big?

    Isolate Selected didn't work, applying a new material didn't work, importing an exported obj didn't work, and I don't think the objects are too big or small, scaling does nothing.

    Does your scene have Layers? Layers all visible?

    if you upload the scene as an .ma I may be able to take a look in Maya 2014

    what are your objects supposed to be?

    That'd be great! No, there are no layers, I've also got it set to the "display" layer so I know that's not it.

    I was just making a simple human character in maya. I should probably mention it crashed earlier, something about my AMD driver (I have an APU), and I think that may have had something to do with it. Other files were unaffected however. I'll attach the file as a .ma.

    I've been working on it as a .mb in maya 2015, if that's important. I wouldn't be surprised if something was corrupted or something.

    Yea corruption is a possibility. Attach an .ma and also an obj or FBX in case the .ma doesn't work with my 2014. Uh i think another option would be to save the file as a 2014 .mb which I think is possible?

    You can just email me the files if you dont want to mess with file upload services or the Polycount attach thing. clarkcoots (at) gmail (dot) com
