2.6.2009 – Helperpicture

Helperpicture is a small application that allows you to display a picture at the desktop. It layers above all other windows. It also allows you to load an audiosample and play it with a mouseclick.

I have developed it because there is no way to graphically display an audiosample in trueSpace Workspace, which is needed to record keyframes fitting to the sample. That’s why there is also the audio module. You load a sample, move the audiomodule above the play button, and with one click you not only start the animation but also play the sample.

Hotkeys

• Numpad + – Zoom in
• Numpad – -Zoom out
• R – resets zoom to 100%

Note that zoom with Numpad keys resets the zoom that you have done with the window handlers.

To move the reference lines left click at the handlers and move left or right

Audiomodule

• Load your sample
• Move the module above any button you want to use it at
• Left click not only presses this button then, but also plays the loaded sample
• Right click stops the sample
