Problem using Shapes keys

[Wilfrey Angoli]

Hi, before saving after creating shapes keys everything was fine but after saving my project everything kinda went wrong and now I’m kinda stuck with the retopo having eye open and mouth closed, the object mode and the sculpt mode with eye closed and mouth open. After deleting the shape keys it is still stuck this way. Any tips ?

My personal tip would be:

Don’t Save!

Only Save incremental versions before you are going to do something potentially dangerous.

Simple Saving, is a bit of an old thing, from when Blender would Crash often…

Now we have a really good working Autosave.

Especially with this Course, I found that excessive (and unnecessary) Saving can have a detrimental effect.

True, I save incrementally, even more so when doing complex Blender things, such as it’s making this Human course. Blender is notorious for glitches like that, so don’t worry, it’s not like you did something wrong.

Omar and Martin are spot on: Incremental saving is crucial with every Blender project. Most people get very into this precautionary technique and end up with hundreds of individual saves. That’s simply a waste of disk space in my opinion. But saving at key milestones in the process, at the very least, is a wise method to make a habit of.

Blender has auto saving enabled by default. Were you able to check those to recover previous versions of your head?
