futuraa Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 hey m8 i hope is not too l8, max saves a .bak file of the project u have open and if it crashes and the original file is corrupted u should look for that file but i think its gone after you open another project. Make sure to llok on the backup folder not for .max extension but .bak ones. Thats the only thing i can think of, for your future projects make sure to use 3 outobackup file to make sure u have at least some backup if it happens again.
