- *** LightWave SMPTE Counter ***
-
- I've uploaded a scene file to the ftp site tomahawk.grandi.com:/pub/LW
- /incoming/scenes called LW_SMPTE.zip.
-
- It's a quick and dirty "counter readout" scene that can be used in LW to
- give you feedback on the time status of your animation. It's basically
- nothing
- more than a series of timed rotating wheels that show the current elapsed
- time.
-
- I was working on a long animation that was timed to a series of songs, and
- the
- client requested a readout of minutes/seconds/frames. Although the Data
- Overlay
- Label is available within LW itself, it wasn't what I really needed, so I
- put
- this together. I figured although it was really simple to do, I might as
- well
- share it since it was done.
-
- The whole thing is parented to a null, so it can be rotated/sized etc. The
- default scene length is 18,000 frames (ten minutes) but if you do a "Load
- from
- Scene" it will cut off to the length of your existing scene.
-
- Not only does it give you a readout of your scene timing, but it's a great
- eyesore that if used in a really obvious way will keep any potentially
- cheesy
- clients from using your test animations as finals. 8^)

-
- Hope someone else finds this to be of use!
