I am hoping this is a simple fix. I ran my first render with blender. It took more than 18 hours. When finished, I did not receive any indication that I needed to save it or take any action. Now I can’t find the finished render/animation. I have tried searching for files created today and yesterday, but no joy. I was able to click on an icon to show the animation, and it did display in a small window, but did not include all of the elements.

Can someone help a newb out and tell me how I find the rendered file? For the life of me, I don’t remember if I directed it to be saved in a specific location, and can’t seem to get Blender to show me what folder it might be hiding in.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

If you use standard settings blender save all 5 minutes two backup files called xyz.blend1 and xyz.blend2. if blender chrash or closed before last saving it safe a 98278a9.blend in the temp folder.
Search for *.blend and *.blend1 or 2 in your system including hidden files and folders.
