“Freezing” a Shatter
Moo!
Can anyone help? I have created a scene that I wish to shatter – or more accurately wish to freeze the shatter ( and have my scene running through these pieces). So I don’t want the fragments to break, and then fall out of frame (like what happens when using the Shatter plugin). Is there any way to freeze the animation preset in this plugin – or is there another way of doing this?
Thanks in anticipation of any responses!

try having gravity drop to zero and viscosity jump to 1.0 over a frame (or use hold keyframes)… that should get pretty close, there may be a few frames with a little movement.
now if you need them to get going again, that’s another story… once the particles stop, they would be able to pickup at the velocity they were moving at earlier, so you may need to use 2 shatter layers and have a cut from one to the other if the particles need to continue movement… and since the movement didn’t stop at precisely one frame, there may be a slight jump with a few particles, so you may need to get little creative at that cut to distract the eye a bit.

[Kevin Camp] “once the particles stop, they would be able to pickup at the velocity they were moving at earlier”
[edit] it should read: once the particles stop, they would NOT be able to pickup at the velocity they were moving at earlier
sorry for any confusion…

Hi Lance
I tried the previous respondants suggestion and it worked. I don’t want to freeze the footage being processessed through the effect – just the effect itself.
Many thanks for your help
