Here's something for the 3DStudio Max animators out there.  Tired of the tiny, hard to read frame counter displays out there?  Well here you go...
A free renderable geometry Frame Counter to render with your "work in progress" animations.  Just place it in relation to your camera, type in the animation title, name and workflow status in the attribute holder and it becomes a great help with critiques.  You can download it from my Tutorials page here:

I also included instructions on how to create your own....plus included a script you can copy that will create one for you.

Have Fun and Keep Animating!!!

I'm an animator at Zynga in Austin. Woo Hoo! All the free lunches and dinners you can eat (and sometimes breakfast too)!
