Why we like it

Freezer earns its place in the scriptspot library as a macro-based take on freezing animation, extending Chuggnut's earlier freeze anim tool to also cover space warp effects.

What is Freezer?

Freezer is a macro for 3ds Max from developer Chuggnut. It began as a tool called freeze anim, and this version re-writes that tool as a macro. Freezer handles the freezing of animation, and this release adds support for freezing space warp effects.

When freezing a bomb effect specifically, the freeze should start on the frame of detonation. Because a bomb effect introduces a dynamic change in topology, beginning the freeze on that frame is what lets the macro handle it correctly.

Freezer is listed here at version 2.3.5 and appears in this catalog as a free download. The developer's page at chuggnut.com is the place to check for the latest details on the macro and any current licensing terms directly from Chuggnut.

Who is Freezer best for?

Freezer is best for 3ds Max artists who need to freeze animation, including space warp effects such as bomb effects.

How much does Freezer cost?

Freezer is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Freezer work with space warp effects in 3ds Max?

Freezer supports the freezing of space warp effects, a capability this version adds on top of its animation freezing. That support arrived when the tool was re-written from the earlier freeze anim tool into a macro. For space warps such as a bomb effect, there is an extra step to keep in mind around when the freeze begins, which is covered separately. Check the developer's page at chuggnut.com for further details on how the macro handles space warps in 3ds Max.

How do I freeze a bomb effect with Freezer?

Freezer requires that you start the freeze on the frame of detonation when working with a bomb effect. The reason is that a bomb effect introduces a dynamic change in topology, and beginning the freeze on the detonation frame is what lets the macro handle that change. Starting the freeze on another frame is not advised for this effect type. The developer's page at chuggnut.com is the best source for any additional notes on freezing bomb effects and other space warps.

Is Freezer free to use?

Freezer is listed as free in this catalog, so you can download it here without a price attached. Because licensing terms can change over time, the developer's page at chuggnut.com is the right place to confirm the current terms directly from Chuggnut. That page also carries the latest information on the macro itself, including the version made available and any usage notes the developer chooses to publish there.

What version of Freezer is available?

Freezer is listed here at version 2.3.5. This is the release that re-writes the earlier freeze anim tool into a macro and adds support for freezing space warp effects. For the most current version and any changes beyond this one, the developer's page at chuggnut.com is the place to look, since that is where Chuggnut publishes the macro and its details directly to users.
