Frame/Time Counter Display Tool
10 Comments Published by Eugene (etr9j) on October 17th, 2006 in Toolbox
Michael Thoenes has a nice frame/time counter display tool for Blender. This allows you to ID your animation frames with a frame or time counter by placing one or all of the counters in front of your camera and rendering.

Nice. I am loading it right this second.
I think this should be in blender.
Best as extra data in tga, jpg and openxr file; readable by the seq-editor…
O well…
Something like this should be a render option of Blender!
Anyway nice!
Really need feature. I always struggle with how many frames I have to use for a certain action like, pick up a object, speed of walking, or whatever. It would be a cool feature to be included somewere in blender. It makes animating a little bit easier. ;)
really nice should be integrated with blender
Yes. It definately needs to be integrated into Blender, and I agree with joeri -It would be even better as separate data, but I will probably use this a lot for the Animatic of the film my team and I are making.
There is a patch that integrates this sort of functionality…

It was on the Plumiferos wishlist.
Nice and usefull tool !
It could be a great help in setting animations.
Thanks a lot !
Way to go Michael Thoenes! Keep up the good work and maybe you will make your $100 back :)
Ooh…. Close, but so sorry to Michael Thoenes… Alas, he was beaten to it by that same fabulous person who gave us Blender Library and Blender Materializer Scripts: Mariano Hidalgo aka uselessdreamer already created a script which adds this feature, called More Render Options which adds black bars such as you see in Animatic Runthroughs for films made by people such as Pixar…
It adds a timer, the number of the frame, the name of the Scene, the Blender File, the date and the active Camera, or a variety of the lot, as well as giving you a plethora of options about what sort of rendering you want…
You can find it here:

…I'm afraid I'm going to stick with it…
Sorry Michael, close, but no cigar…
