[Scene 3D] Unable to open file "".

Hey!
 

Had to leave the PC for a bit. Saved the project, exited Substance and turned off the PC.

Cameback and I can't open the project? 

Getting errors:
[Scene 3D] Unable to open file "".
[Scene 3D] Failed to load 3D scene.
Unable to open file "".

Please tell me there is something I can do to fix this. This is literally 20 hours of work wasted if it’s corrupt beyond fixing. I have no idea how this even happens?

    Hello Samuel,

     

    Unfortunately, it does sound like a corrupted file. That being said, as you mentioned 20 hours of work, you should have some autosaves. They should be in the same folder as your original .SPP file.

     

    Best regards,
