CounterText

Hello All (Newbie here),

Not sure if you know of this plugin from Cuneyt Ozdas site, but it allows you to get animated text like numbers and such on screen. You can set keyframed values at any frame and the values will be animated.

What I would like to do is find/write a script where I could convert an Excel table to a script that would assign the data values to whatever frames I wanted.

I have done a similar thing with assinging x,y,z coordinates to an object using a position controller, but am not sure how to do it with a value that is just a user variable and not an actual position.

Does that make any sense? You might have to be familiar with the plugin

Cheers All
