Why you should save incremental versions

[robcat2075]

Last night I spent two hours pushing CPs around in a new Pose, then i saved my model again.

 

Then I noticed I hadn't been working in a Pose window, I had been moving the CPs in the model window! There's no amount of pressing "undo" that would save that situation.

 

Fortunately I always save in incrementally numbered versions with brief descriptions of what was just done so it was easy to go back to the last version of the model before I made that ghastly error.

 

I rarely need to go back to my old versions but about two or three times a year I'll do something spectacularly bad like that and I'm glad they are there.

OUCH! Good advice.

I tend to save alot! every scene now is saved, too many times things happen beyond our control.

I keep all these in folders for each video.

I've been getting more and more organized about stuff like this. Can't be too careful!
