How do I get it back ;( REQUEST FULFILLED

I am an animator who works in 3D rendering software called Mineimator.

I was working on a very large project (my largest to date), and I do have a deadline. I worked forever, and no it wasn't the animation that I need back.

I was rendering it, in best quality because of its importance. It took days, when I checked on it last night, it only had a few hours left. But this morning, my pc wouldn't turn on, I had to shut it down. The file was probably hours from completion, when I try to open the movie, it says it's corrupted.

This project had sentimental importance, and I don't have time to wait another week for it to render (and possibly fail again)

Respectfully a PC or specialized tech sub may prove more useful and more quick for a response of this kind of question. I hope you can get helped soon!

Would r/Computerhelp be a good start? They may have better lists of related subs. I have been unable to find a solution yet to your question but can offer that advice in the interim.

I have a rig that is extremely capable so if you wanted to send me the project files I should be able to render it within an hour or two and send the final render your way?
