My first project using 4.0.

At one point, I had a huge panic because I saved the project right while my computer was shutting down, and then got the “Missing DNA block” error, but fortunately I had a backup to save the day 😌

I have now downloaded the free powersave addon so that doesn’t happen again.

    Also never heard of the “missing DNA block” error. I’m OOTL on what “DNA” means in a Blender context.

    (Also, awesome model)

      DNA is like a directory of what is in a blend file and where in it it is. Blend files are more or less just a dump of blenders internal state, ingenious if you ask me.

      Thanks!

      The missing dna block means the file got corrupted (blender probably hard crashed before finishing writing the file)

      This is what google shows up with

      Yeah, same, usually blender just crashes and doesn’t save my model bcz I’m a dumbass and did a ton of work without hitting the save button. But usually the auto save rescues me.
