Hi to everyone,

i've working on a scene when i decided to stop and made a pause, saving everything.

Once back, openinig my Poser (Pro 2014) file, the scene was empty, no objetcts, no light, nothing but just this message.

What happened?

thank you!p6HqrYt0Hclt6JvFzRLYYrpbnTVtysLGF7ixp2u7.jpg

Python is expecting to read a UTF-8 encoded text file, but your CSV file isn't UTF-8 encoded.

Load your CSV in MS Excel and select CSV UTF-8 option while doing a Save As.

But can i know why this happened? something went wrong while saving?

The only reason I can imagine is that the file has one day been opened and modified using a program that doesn't include the uff-8 management.
Lately, I've seen this by examining a css file generated by an old Visual Basic 5 program, correctly encoded, but upon opening it using Win11's notepad: nada, no accents, only squares.

The Python script in your scene is newer and not backwards compatible with your version of Poser 10? Poser 10 was using Python v2 or 2.7. The newer Poser versions are using Python v3 and newer, most likely.

You could try to open your saved Poser file using a newer version of Poser -- Poser 11, 12 or 13, even if it's a trial only version, it should load your saved file. Don't forget to mount your Runtime, paths and everything, just like you have it set up in Poser 10 (PP2014).
