Hello,
I have recently downloaded Maya 2013 so I could work on a project away from school (the version I use at school is maya 7), but every time I open my saved file some things are missing. For example my project was a rigged character I was just about to animate, and now when I open it in the 2013 version my skin, or the geometry that is the character (sorry I' still new and don't know the correct terms) is completely gone and some of my skeleton is still in place but a majority of the joints are just a pile on the grid. Can anyone help me fix this so I can open the file the same way it was on the Maya 7 version with my rigged character still intact?
