"VIRTUAL KNOWLEDGE, REAL RESULTS." ----- Freezing stuff for snapshots Avatars, by nature, can be fidgety, and it can be difficult for you to take a photo of them. If you want to freeze your avatar, you can do so with a simple Right-click on an attachment. This also will freeze your animation, for action photography. Flexiprims, prims that respond to wind and motion (such as flags), can be frozen in Advanced menu -- Rendering -- Features -- disable Flexible Objects. If you want to freeze animated textures, such as fire, you can do so in Advance menu -- Rendering -- disable Animated Textures. To take a photo of a tree that is swaying in the breeze, go to Snapshot button, focus on the tree, Click More, and select "Freeze frame".

Mar 19, 2008 - Hmmm that's an interesting way to do it. The "Freeze Frame" option of the snapshot tool doesn't stop everything. I know particles don't freeze but I can't recall if flexis freeze with it or not, hmm. I'll need to check that. If those and animated textures don't hold in "freeze frame" then this will take care of the rest. Particles are a pity that they won't freeze. Those are always tricky. I found me in that situation several times where I had to get a shot captured with timed particles.
