I had just painstakingly created a render. After the render finished, I noticed the clothes weren't the proper color, the texture was off but the poses were perfection. I mean just poifect! I just needed to make those last tweaks to change the materials, you know the drill. When our power went off for ten seconds. I restarted everything and then cursed myself for not doing the usual save scene before rendering. That's okay, I thought. At least using the completed render I can redo the poses.

The render was gone from my recent render window.

I looked in the render cache and found it. All the renders they were something called an EXR file and they looked like a muted shadow of the original file. Certainly not suited for use. (I used Windows Photo Viewer and then IRFAN photo viewing. Great for image batch file extension conversions.

I restarted Poser. It still wasn't there. I sighed, shut it down and watched a video on the infinite nature of the Universe (if it's flat it's infinite, if it's curved it's a sphere which means the Universe will eventually wrap around itself. Notebook : It's probably curved. If it was flat a cat would pushed something important off the edge).

Woke up, made coffee and restarted Poser with dreary task of recreating that perfect scene without reference.

The Render was sitting in my recent render strip along with a few other missing renders. This disappearing and reappearing of renders. Has this happened to anyone else?
