thanks Ed! I do a lot less of the classic analog these days because I can’t use VARs to bring up the data mode. I miss making these!

Well, what on Facer gives you a shadow that changes over time? The hands.
So, I make the tick marks move like hands so that their shadows change. The hour hand stays still since the tick marks rotate using the smooth hour hand rotation function. The minute hand rotates with the smooth minute function minus the smooth hour function.
Seems to keep time correctly, but it’s a pain to read. The Ambient screen has no shadows and only the hands rotate.

Well, some hour numbers make it a bit easier to read, maybe.

I might have taken it too far with the gyros and shadows. I’ll publish once I get my promo media created. It’ll be CX048.
Ironically, this (full video, not shortened) video saved as an MP4 is 500k, and as a GIF is 12 megs. It’s too bad this forum doesn’t allow MP4 files. I wouldn’t have had to chop so much off the video.

I’m not sure if Gyros are available in Facer Creator, I do all of my development in Samsung Watch Face Studio. I created shadows of the resources (I guess making additional resources), and layered them and assigned gyro movement to each shadow, varying the amount the shadows move based on which layer its in and it’s depth. I’m not sure if I explaining this in an easy way to understand. I can make (Peter) style video and post it later.

I think that shadows like that can be achieved using the Gyro function of Watches…if I remember correctly

That’s exactly how I did it. I just wasn’t sure it Facer Creator has this functionality.
So when I move my watch, the shadows follow my movement. It looks like a physical watch with a light shining down on it from the ceiling casting shadows.
