*A:M User* Roger Posted May 20, 2011 *A:M User* Posted May 20, 2011 How on earth could this have happened? I have a complete duplicate set of bones. At first I thought I just had an extra root and pelvis bone, but it looks like the whole skeleton was copied. I definitely did not deliberately do this, so it has me scratching my head. Quote
HomeSlice Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 That could happen if you [Ctrl]-drag the root bone in the PWS. Even if its just a tiny bit. Luckily, it is easy to delete the extra set of bones. Quote
*A:M User* Roger Posted May 21, 2011 Author *A:M User* Posted May 21, 2011 Ok well I suppose its possible I may have done that by accident. Deleting the extra set of bones won't screw up anything with the original set, will it? Quote

Deleting the extra set of bones won't screw up anything with the original set, will it? The best thing to do is try it and find out. You have to get rid of that second set of bones whether it screws things up or not. Of course you've saved your original file, and you're not going to resave over it and you're never going to resave over something you already saved. You're going to save versions of your work frequently and keep every version of your work until you're done with it. That makes it easy to backtrack to the last version of your work before you made some ghastly unintentional, unrevertable error. That makes it easy to try new things without worrying too much about messing things up. Quote

I've learned that the hard way. You should see my short film directory on my HD, I have so many versions of everything I need to start weeding things out, because I'm getting to the point where its difficult finding stuff. I've started putting dates right in my filenames so I have some idea chronologically of where everything fits in. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 21, 2011 Hash Fellow Posted May 21, 2011 When I'm saving versions i number them from 000 on up. I don't put a date on it because Windows gives every file a date anyway. After the version number I like to put a short description that tells what's new or different about this version. Then I usually dont' have to load them to see what they were about. Quote
