Hi people. I somehow managed to get my Mudbox 2009 file corrupted, because Internet explorer messed up! I managed to close down Mudbox before I really couldn’t close or open programs and do anything else in windows explorer. I then made a back up copy of the file I was working on before I had to do the forced shutdown of my machine. Unfortunately now both the files are corrupted, plus the .bak files!
I searched the forum for possible solutions, but they all apply to SP1 version. I have the SP2 version.
So I am asking is there anything else that can be done?! Any help would be great.

did you try this
1. Attempt to open corrupt file. The error “Corrupt file...” will pop up. Click OK. Proceed to next step while keeping the error message open.
2. Open another .mud or .obj file. You will see the geometry from the corrupt file but the node will not be visible in the object list and you will not be able to select the geometry.
3. Edit->Select All
4. File->Export Selection. Export as .obj. The .obj will have the mesh form the corrupt file

Thanks for your reply. I already tried it this though. The viewport freezes and there is no way I can select the mesh from “objects” tab on the side. When I try it, it says “An error occured...” and I have to close Mudbox through task manager.
Is there any other way? I’m guessing not, but I really would like to fix it, if at all possible.
Luckily I do have a high-res .obj exported, so I could work from there, but of course it would be nice if I had the original .mud file anyway.
I’m hoping for more suggestions, but I guess it’s kind of difficult now.

I had the same problem some time ago, but I found a backup file. Try to search files with extension *.bak - if you’re lucky enough mudbox did it for you :)

Yup, did that. Also corrupt. :-(

So I don’t have any idea what else could help you.Las t thing which you can try is to view this file in notepad/wordpad/any_other_text_editor and compare with another proper file. If you have backups of previous version, you can compare them using Total Commander.

if this file is really important to you send it to autodesk maybe they can fix it…
or try it to open with the upcoming 2010er mud…
