Well, for a start, did you load the Autoback file from 5-10 minutes earlier, which would have had pretty much all your original vert weights in? I hope you didn't do it all again from scratch... I haven't had much trouble with the Skin modifier myself... then again, I don't really use Paint Weights. I'll probably be doing…
Don't you have Autobackup in Max? I don't understand how you can lose 6 hours of modelling ... aside from the fact that it's really sensible to just hit CTRL-S every once in a while, default Autoback settings save a file in 3dsmax/autobak every 5 minutes, so you should at least have something to recover from there. Apart…
I will try to create a create script for that :) What do you want exactly? - Possibility to change the delay of the save? - To create a directory near your PSD with the history of your PSD files and to call it 001, 002, 003, etc? - To choose how many Autoback files the hisotry will keep in you directory? Let me know and I…
I've had that happen in older versions of 3dsmax but not recently. It mostly happened when it crashed and I started working with the file it tried to recover. It's better to go to an autoback (but not always) and forget about the recovery files. It's also happened when it autosaves when I was in the middle of doing…
You simply put your OS and your most demanding apps on it. They are great for reading, NOT for writing, so the autoback idea is actually not that practical. They do make all your apps fly tho, really cool to have. And since there are not really meant for storage anyways, small is fine. I got two OCZs as OS drives for my…

Personally I keep a projects directory with a folder for each asset, structured like: project// --- backup - autobacks --- bakes - baked maps, and meshes to rebake from --- export - the outputs of the project if any --- img - refs --- import - the inputs of the project if any --- out - screenshots / video to send to client…
Hey guys and girls! I got a problem with 3ds max. Everytimes I edit poly,edges or vertices, they got a freeze on my computer after 10-20 min of work. I have to reeboot manualy my PC. My 3dsmax scene is corrupt (so I configure a generated autoback every 2min). I was on 3dsmax9 version, then I install 3dsmax 2009 but the…
Copy paste will be the quickest most sure way. Some autoback up software compresses which can be a pain when you go to retrive info. I wouldn't worry about the raid unless you want the drive to act as a real time back up. If you're just going to do a one time back up hook it up, copy/paste and call it good. If you're…
Per: What hardcore tools are required to construct a 100-ish triangle mesh and bake a normal map from a subdivided EPoly? I do that all the time, and have never seen "mesh corruption" issues such as you speak of. dejawolf: What, do you turn off Autoback too? You don't save incrementally? Those are really, really bad…
