4 From the Unit Size pop-up menu, choose All.
The sequence animation affects all replicator elements simultaneously. The default is Object,
which applies the sequence animation to the elements of the replicator based on the origin of
the pattern.
Unit Size set to All Unit Size set to Object
5 Increase the Loops value to a minimum value of 3.
By default, a sequence animation plays through one time. The value of the Loops parameter
defines the number of times the animation repeats over the duration of the replicator object.
6 From the End Condition pop-up menu, choose Ping Pong.
By default, the End Condition parameter is set to Hold, which completes a sequence animation
cycle, then starts the cycle again from the beginning. When set to Ping Pong, the animation
cycles forward one time, then cycles backward, then forward, and so on.
Note: The End Condition parameter has no effect for Loop values less than or equal to 1.
Sequence Replicator controls
Use the following parameters to modify the sequence animation. Except for the Add
and Remove Parameter pop-up menus, these parameters also appear in the Sequence
Replicator HUD.
Parameters in the Inspector
•
Parameter: Use the Add and Remove pop-up menus in the Parameter row to add and remove
replicator cell parameters. When you choose an item from the pop-up menu, additional
controls appear in the Behaviors Inspector above the Parameter row. You can adjust these
controls (or keyframe them) to modify the sequence animation, which is based on the change
in value between these parameters and the original values of the cells. The Add pop-up menu
items include:
•
Rotation: Adds a rotation dial and value slider that enables you to Specify (in degrees) the
rotation of replicator elements.
•
Color: Adds a row of color controls that let you specify a tint for replicator elements. You can
click the color well to choose a color or open the disclosure triangle and use the Red, Green,
and Blue sliders.
•
Opacity: Adds an opacity slider, allowing you to define the transparency of the
pattern elements.
•
Scale: Adds a scale slider that lets you define the size of replicator elements. Click the
disclosure triangle next to the Scale slider to reveal separate X scaling and Y scaling
subparameters that can be used to adjust the width and height of the cells separately. By
default, Scale is set to 100%—the size of the replicator cells is equal to the original size
defined in the cell parameters.
