This is my first time of getting into this 3d thing. I'd been modelling a scene for 2days in 3dmax 5. And while working, all of a sudden someone switched on a 5 h.p machine in my apartment and my PC went off.

And that was the end of the file. No auto backup, no recovery nothing. When opening it reads: "file failure...." whatever. Is'nt there anyway i can recover my max file.

I'm so piss#d off by now. Maybe i switch to Maya and Lighwave do the samething happen there?
