I don't even know what to call this problem. The thing is, the rest of my Maya files are fine except for this one.

Someone... Please tell me this is fixable. user added image

So it looks like your control curves aren't influencing your mesh, but other than that, there's no information. You might not know what to call the problem, but you can describe it. How did you get to this point? What kind of rig/project are you using? Did you reference it? Did you scale it? Does this only happen at frame 181 or does it look like this when you open the file? Is the skeleton with the mesh or the control curves?

Sorry. I was in a panic just now.

All of them are references.

I do not know how I got to this point. All I did was add an extra blend shape node to the original file. I have several Maya files using the same reference files and all of them are fine except for this one. I'm using IK rig. Yes I scale it but I did that at the beginning before animating anything. No it was like this for the whole file. The picture only shows the control curves. The control curves moves and it still preserves the key frames.

For some reason the mesh went back to its original state even though when I click on it the key frames for the blend shapes is still there. Looked at the channel box too and realized the inputs/blendshapes are all gone.

I'd checked the joints too and it's in the scaled size. Only the mesh...
