[Unity] How to stop camera rendering?

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/147988/how-to-pause-the-main-camera-.html

 

I would simply pause the game with Time.timeScale = 0, and then do the following commands to Camera.main:

• Save the Camera's CullingMask into a variable.
• Save the Camera's ClearFlags into a varible.
• Set the Camera's ClearFlags to Nothing. This will make it so that the previous frame's image will not be cleared.
• Set the Camer'as Culling Mask to 0. This makes it so that NOTHING is rendered.
• The Camera should now display the image of the previous frame permanently.
• When the game is unpaused, reset the CullingMask and ClearFlags values to what they were before.

Also, when you setup a script to do this, DO NOT use Update or LateUpdate to perform these tasks because they will not be called if the game is paused.

Set the camera object inactive or disable the camera component.

GameObject.Find only finds active objects.
