I'll need to print out my wireframes & register them in order to work out the 2d part. What is the easiest way to have a set of register marks (crosshairs) appear in the corners of my wireframe animation so I can register the prints? I'm thinking some sort of transparent plane with the crosshairs as a brush, but I wonder how to keep them locked in position. Any ideas? ---------------------------------- Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1998 08:54:44 -0700 From: Bill Graham You are on the right track. Just position the plane as you'd like in front of the camera, close to the camera so it does not intersect any other objects in the scene when it's moving. Then you'll need to go to the Action editor and Associate the Plane to the Camera. You may want to have the Plane Track to the camera also. ---------------------------------- Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1998 12:35:45 -0500 From: Frank Gabriel That's what I expected I'd have to do. Thanks. ---------------------------------- Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1998 18:22:24 +0200 From: Andrew Darnovsky Frank Can't you composite the crosshairs onto your renderings using AfterEffects or a Photoshop Actions batch or whatever? If you really must render the whole works in Imagine, I suggest associating your transparent plane to the camera, so that it always retains the same relative position. ----------------------------------
