My first project using 4.0.

At one point, I had a huge panic because I saved the project right while my computer was shutting down, and then got the "Missing DNA block" error, but fortunately I had a backup to save the day ๐Ÿ˜Œ

I have now downloaded the free powersave addon so that doesn't happen again.

What's the powersave adding? I version control all my code, but blender models get quiet large, so I've never been a fan of using git to version control them, and have had the same issues you have had with needing to restore with autosaves, and backups.

Super cool aesthetic by the way. I really dig the style you're going for.

Also never heard of the "missing DNA block" error. I'm OOTL on what "DNA" means in a Blender context.

(Also, awesome model)

DNA is like a directory of what is in a blend file and where in it it is. Blend files are more or less just a dump of blenders internal state, ingenious if you ask me.
