Check the box of the style you want, along with the hands (seconds, minutes, hours) you want to be seen in your project.

1. Simple Face

The Simple Face clock is modeled after a traditional wall clock. This clock is perfect for replacing typical wall clocks from footage.

2. Fancy Face

3. Sports Face

Customizable Clock Face

Countdown also allows users to hand-create a custom clock face and hands. If you find that the preset clock faces wont work for your given project, you can easily create a custom clock by designing each individual hand and the clock face in their corresponding compositions.

Customizable Checkboxes

Time Controls

The time control layer allows users to adjust how the clock will actually display time. Using the various tools, you can customize the way your clock works in your timeline. Here’s what you can do with the time controls:

Speed

The speed parameter adjusts how quickly time passes. To figure out the speed, simply multiply the speed number by real time. So a speed indicator of 100 is 100 times faster than normal. The speed parameter can be keyframed to show an increase or decrease in speed.

Time Progression

By default, your clock will progress in real time. Your hours, minutes, and seconds will all interact just like a real functioning clock. Don’t want your clock to tick? Simply unselect the time progression checkbox and your clock will not progress in time.

Adjust the Arms by Hand

If you want your clock to be at a very specific time, you can simply change where each hand is located. The clock will still continue to click even after you set your custom time.

Tick

The tick setting Autodesk maya free downloadfreaksever. will alternate between a ticking clock and a smooth rotating clock.

Offset
