Is Auto Save not working for you @tanya53 ?

You know where to find it, right?

which should open a File Browser with your Auto saved files:

I only save incremental versions, when necessary…Auto Save does the rest and has not failed me yet (the last few years)…

thanks, I do know where to find the autosave, usually works for me, but once in awhile I have made more changes than I thought.   I thought this idea was something most people could relate to and made me laugh a little.  I was also getting desperate for an idea that I could both do and sort of liked.  Anyway thanks for your great assistance ass usual.  Hope yours is going well.

,,,this idea was something most people could relate to,,

certainly! I rarely have Blender crashing on me these days, but I can remember the feeling of losing hours of work! I was definitely screaming then!

And yes, a crash never comes ‘at the right moment’,of course…

I have learned a lot from this one, still like making stuff move best.  It is amazing what you can do with the compositor, wish I understood more about it and lighting.  A hard thing for me to tell is how detailed an object needs to be, especially when I end up blurring it, again need to plan better.  For example the cactus spikes.  I like the coffee cup, really looks like the one I use.  

this is what the meshes look like

this is what is currently coming out of the render, pre composit

this is the final image 

I have had many problems with the sun rays, below is what it looked like before I added them in,  don’t know which I like better.  I would like less fog (volume) and have the rays have a yellow tint.  I am sure this is something that could be done, but still pretty clueless,  but guessing it is some small tweaks from a choice of many.

Again thanks for doing this, learned lots, actually developed somewhat of a work flow.  Hope everyone else has enjoyed it as much as I have.
