So, the data restore company took my hdd yesterday. from what I've learned, the chances of rescuing my data are high: it's a new hdd, it never fell, and it's STILL WORKING, running, and not making any noises. I hope I'll get good news within the next days, even though it's going to be painful, cost-wise. this is an important lesson I need to engrave into my bones, for many more years of creativity, so I accept humbly and with love.
in the meanwhile, I'm preparing for the worst: I do have my entire poser library and content backed-up on a cloud, and now I'm re-syncing it to my new hdd. it's running for a day and a half now, and only about 40% through! this thing is HUGE (added a screenshot of the progress :) ).
The game III was 100% done render-wise, and 70% done final-editing wise. with the help of the mighty god, I'll get it back and be able to finish it pretty fast. if the worst will happen - I will take a deep breath and start working on it from scratch. hopefully, there won't be a need for that.
for now, enjoy this Epic SFX, starring my Very first model (we filmed together my first fetish session in march 2008!!!), Daina <3. enjoy, folks!
