Recovering Your Maya Crash Files! (Hopefully)
Maya crashed! But, with any luck, Maya provided you with a crash report. If you do have one, there's a good chance Maya also generated a recovery file to save your work. This video will show you how to locate that file on your computer.
However, if Maya crashed without warning and didn’t generate any sort of report, it's unlikely a recovery file was created. Unfortunately, there’s not much that can be done in that case. Maya can be frustrating at times, and you may need to redo some of your work. Sorry about that!
