<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rhcol span5\">\n<p>The Avastar Meshes can not be modified. As soon as you try to do this, you will get very bad distortions. This is due to how Shape keys are handled in Blender.<\/p>\n<p>The freeze either creates static meshes from your rigged meshes, or modifiable versions of your selected meshes. The tool basically removes all shape keys and all Avastar control data.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Freeze Tool is used in following situations:<\/p>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"rhcol span4\"><strong>You want to create a static statue from an Avastar Object<\/strong> in the current pose and with no rigging information assigned. But when you export the Avastar character to SL as it is, then the imported mesh rezzes always in T-Pose, even when you exported in another pose.<\/div>\n<div class=\"rhcol span4\"><strong>You want to use the Avastar system meshes<\/strong> as initial model for your own custom Avatar project. But Avastar always tells you to not edit the system meshes.<\/div>\n<div class=\"rhcol span4\"><strong>For unrigged Objects:<\/strong> You just want to bake the current Shape into the Mesh and remove the Shape keys.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Usage<\/h4>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"rhcol span7\">\n<ul>\n<li>Ensure Blender is in Object Mode.<\/li>\n<li>Select all parts which you want to freeze.<\/li>\n<li>Set the freeze options (see below)<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><em>Freeze Selected.<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> <\/span>You can apply<em> Freeze Shape<\/em> to any mesh object (unrelated to Avastar).
