•
Reverse Stacking: A checkbox that, when selected, inverts the order in which elements are
stacked. To see the effect of this parameter, elements must be overlapping.
Pattern with Reverse Stacking deselected:
The element to the right overlaps the next
cell to the left.
Pattern with Reverse Stacking selected:
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
Cameras overview on page 928.
