The Idea

Malbers released his awesome Realistic Wolves and I wanted to capture their details with close up screenshots of those beautiful furry models and give focus to them.

So one of the primary goals is to allow publishers to create awesome screenshots for the advertising of their assets.

Requirements & Limitations

The functionality depends on the Time class of Unity and what it provides for pausing a game. It works with Unity’s own feature set and what setting the game time to 0 or a variable value implies.
