Annoying things that can -- and usually -- happens when 3d modeling
I'll begin: > Relatively complex scene > Start to explode meshes using keyframes > Finishes it > Realize you forgot to press the "auto key" button This happened twice today. When will autodesk make a warning like "pls no ferget about auto key"? -

I forget to turn on the mirroring in Zbrush all the time, and the ReSym usually doesn't save me. -
Re: Annoying things that can -- and usually -- happens when 3d modeling
Every now and then Maya likes to tease me.. usually one of these 1) it's all of a sudden ignoring basic hotkeys like w,e,r forcing me to restart 2) the pivot gets stuck and won't automatically snap to the selection center anymore, restart 3) a combination of keys switches to a different keyboard language (think it's… -

OMG, yes! I remembered one i do a lot. I can't be the only one lol: > Select a loop/some vertices > Move/scale/rotate > Significant amount of time passes > Realize you moved unwanted geometry on the other side of the model I usually forget to turn on ignore backfaces, but when i do, i don't. -
Re: Annoying things that can -- and usually -- happens when 3d modeling
How about when I hit undo and the geometry goes to shit by randomly reconnecting faces edges and verts. Ok... obviously this file is fooked, so I'll just reopen a previous save. I got this. This is why I save in iteration. SEE, the file icon shows the geometry is fine. You didn't get me this time! (laughs maniacally)… -

Related to hotkeys and Blender's wonderfully and brilliantly designed Image Editor's file menu, i've learned the hard way that the Alt-S hotkey ONLY WORKS if that Image pane is in "Paint" mode. It doesn't work on Mask (which Is what I leave it on while painting in a 3D viewport instead) Much skin work was recently lost… -

When that inside voice says ''save now'' but you don't and two seconds later the program crash.And you think,damn I've raised the bar that time and don't think I can replicate it. -
Re: Annoying things that can -- and usually -- happens when 3d modeling
I know i do this to myself, but i use Control W to save, which i do habitually. Control Q is quit, and both have a little click through "are you sure dude?" popup to make sure you don't blow anything up look at your keyboard and tell me how that could go wrong -

@macebo oh yeah man, bad snaps are infuriating, especially in ortho where you don't always see it! @excessivezero my autobackup has stopped working entirely this week :expressionless:
