Recover corrupt .blend file after power failure I was working on my tutorial based project, when a surge in power made my computer shut down unexpectedly.
When I open my .blend file, it is not showing me anything. It's as if all the objects inside are no longer there, yet the file size has not changed, its still 4.35 MB.
I have tried accessing the autosave.blend file but it gives me an error code that reads &quot;File format is not supported in file:
'C:\Users\my_Computer_name\AppData\Local\Temp\G_wagon_5020_autosave.blend'
I tried opening with another version of blender and it gave me an error that said 'missing DNA block'
Is there any possible way to recover the file to it's healthy state or is there any possible way I can transfer the objects data into another .blend file. Anyway to recover my file data?
Certainly sounds like it ought to read that file.
Something you can try is opening a new file and File&gt;Append&gt;Navigate to your Blend file&gt;Collections and select all the collections.
This should append all the objects with any data attached to them and they should still be in the collection hierarchy that you've used.
