Custom layer particle time sample freeze frame at birth from current time.
Dominic Pons asked 3 years ago
What does the freeze frame setting option for the Texture time sample do?
I thought it would allow me to have the emitted particle frozen at the current playing frame from the composition set as the source layer.
but it seems to keep it playing all the frames until the end point of the layer. Is there something specific I could do in order to have it behave in such a way?
if not it would be fun to add a feature that would be the same as “random still frame” except instead it would match the current time in order to have it linear as it gets emitted. It would be called “freeze at birth on current time“.
cheers !

Hi, The freeze frame, will freeze the source clip at the last frame. You could also control the texture frame post-emitting using the Field / Maps and other nodes. Please search for ‘Texturizer’ preset to see an example. The Replica node also has some controls over particles textures. Please send an email to support for further help.

‘Freeze frame’ does not work as expected for me in 1.6.0 on Windows. It does exactly the same thing as ‘current time’.
