•
Lines: This option is effective only when the elements of the replicator are animated using
Simulation behaviors or the Throw (Basic Motion) behavior. The movement of each pattern
element is represented by a line and is useful in analyzing the vector of each element’s
motion. The length of each line is determined by that element’s speed, and the angle of
each line equals each element’s direction. In the following image, the replicator elements are
animated using the Vortex behavior.
Note: Element movement created by the Sequence Replicator behavior or by keyframing the
replicator parameters is not displayed.
•
Wireframe: Each pattern element is represented by a bounding box. Because the bounding
boxes are good indicators of each element’s orientation in the pattern, this preview mode is
useful for evaluating the movements of individual elements. For example, it’s easy to see the
angle of rotation for elements that are spinning or following a complex motion path.
•
Image: This option displays the elements as they are supposed to appear in your final render.
Note: Whatever is selected in the Show Objects As pop-up menu appears in your final render.
