# PFreeze

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page covers the **PFreeze node** of Thinking Particles in **Cinema 4D**. It slows particle motion down to a full freeze and can thaw it again — the tool for slow-motion and time-slice effects with orbiting cameras.

This effect resembles a slow motion effect. You can slow down the motion of the particles, all the way to a complete freeze if you wish.

You can also **thaw** the particles to return them to their original motion. This is especially useful for timeslicing effects, where you freeze the motion and rotate the camera around the effect.
