Reverse Stacking:
Inverts the order in which the elements are stacked. To see the effect
of this parameter, elements must be overlapping.
Pattern with Reorder disabled: The element to
the right overlaps the next cell to the left.
Pattern with Reorder enabled: The element to
the left overlaps the next cell to the right.
Face Camera:
When this checkbox is selected, the pattern elements actively face the
camera when the camera or the replicator is rotated. When Face Camera is deselected,
the elements face forward in the replicator pattern and appear flat (unless the source
layer or pattern elements are rotated in 3D space). Because Motion only supports 2D
objects, this option is key to giving 2D objects the appearance of 3D as the camera is
animated.
Note: Because replicator pattern elements are 2D (flat) objects, the pattern elements are
not visible when you use the orthogonal camera views, such as Left, Right, and Top (unless
the source layer or pattern elements are rotated in 3D space). This is because orthogonal
views are at right angles (perpendicular) to the elements. For more information on using
cameras, see
