I sometimes get errors like that, and I usually delete the contents of the SwarmCache folder in the UDK/binaries (I think) or delete the cache in the swarm coordinator window. That usually helped me.
I think marmoset does some stuff with the HDR file. The tbsky files seem to load faster. And if you place them in your installation folder they'll be among your presets.
Oh and if you could make the entire thing portable so that the settings were saved in a folder that would be great. I would love to use this with Drop box and synchronize all of references.
Ha, I have this in my Inspiration folder as well, was thinking of doing it as my next Environment as well. Lol any interest in collaboration? I look forward to seeing your progress!
Looking forward to meeting some of the amazing artists that fill so much of my inspiration folder. Will be arriving at St Pancrias at about 2:30 will be at meet for about 3:00 whoot
I just tried Ninja Ripper. I can't get it to create a _Ripper folder. Marmoset 2 opens in intruder mode. and pressing any of the F keys does not do anything.
there is usually a recovery file on the same folder where your original file is. Now, if you NEVER saved upon first creating the file, I don't think there is much do be done.
Maybe you can try launching Maya from the folder that Steam put it in? I don't have it personally, but Steam\steamapps\common would be a good place to check. Hope it works.
this drove me absolutely batty for a while, now ive adjusted to it, and accept its shittiness. now, if they could only fix the god damn size of the layer folder groups.... that infuriates me.
