Additive Blend: By default, replicator elements are composited together using the Normal
blend mode. Select this checkbox to composite all overlapping elements using the Additive
blend mode. This blending occurs in addition to the compositing method set in the
Properties tab. The result is that the brightness of overlapping objects is intensified. This
applies only to the replicator itself—the blend mode of the replicator layer determines
how the result of the pattern is blended into the scene.
Color Mode: This pop-up menu specifies the origin of the color for the replicated elements
There are five menu options:
• Original: Elements are created using the original colors from the source layer. When
Original is chosen, the Opacity Gradient editor appears, allowing you to change the
opacity of the replicator elements over the pattern.
The following illustration shows a line-shape replicator with Opacity set to 10% at the
start of the gradient and 100% at the end of the gradient.
• Colorize: Elements are tinted using the color specified in the Color parameter. Additional
Color and Opacity Gradient parameters appear.
