When it rains...
🕑 Added 2022-07-08 23:41:45 +0000 UTCFinancially the last few years have been rough. I was laid off and started a new business that is floundering. Honestly, I'm only holding on because of all of you. Unfortunately, life refuses to cut me any slack.
A few days ago, I booted up my computer and recieved a bios error. The computer shop informed me that this was an issue with the motherboard. In the best case scenario, I will have to buy a new computer. That's the best case scenario.
What's the worst case scenario? Well, the worst case scenario is that all my data is unrecoverable. That means all the saved Nancy Drew images I was working on and the saved render assets. That also means all the saved characters I created including all my Nancy Drew characters, New Foxes and other models. That means my entire library of 3D assets I've spent the last 5 years collecting...All gone. Most of the assets I can obtain once again, but it will be tough to lose all of my created models.
To make matters worse, the owner of the shop is out of town, and the person he put in charge keeps closing shop early and missing his deadlines to call me and update me on progress. I'm actually willing to buy a new rig from this guy, but he seems more interested in effing around.
If the worst case scenario happens (and with my luck, It will) I hope you'll be patient with me over the next few months. Once again, I want to thank all of you. You'll never understand how much your patronage had met to me all these years.

This comes from hard won experience. I play is safe now.

That's awful. BUT, remember, just because the mother board is trash doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the hard drive. My advice is if you have to get a new motherboard or computer, save the original hard drive separately. Use a new hard drive, load your software and everything. THEN get a cable/connector to connect the original hard drive to the new computer via USB. You will then have access to everything on the original computer. DO NOT RELOAD over the original hard drive. Keep it as a D Drive. Use it as a backup drive.

I'm sorry to hear about this!
