•
Position: Adds two value fields that define the offset of elements from their original position
in X and Y space. Click the disclosure triangle next to the parameter name to reveal separate
X, Y, and Z position subparameters. For example, to create an animation in which elements
move upward in Y over the replicator pattern, enter a positive value in the Y Position field. In
the following images, Y Position is set to 300.
•
Sequencing: This pop-up menu specifies how the sequence animation moves through the
elements of the pattern, based on the change from the original parameter value to the value
set in the Sequence Replicator parameters. The starting point for the sequence animation
is based on the selected Origin or Build Style parameters (in the Replicator Inspector). For
example, if a line replicator’s Origin parameter is set to End Point, the sequence animation
begins at the end of the line and moves toward the start of the line by default. To change the
starting point for the sequence animation, change the Origin or Build Style of the pattern in
the replicator controls (in the Replicator Inspector or HUD). The Sequencing options are:
•
To: Specifies that the animation begins at the original value of the cells and moves to
the value set in the Sequence Replicator behavior for that parameter. For example, if
the original opacity value of a cell is 100%, and opacity is set to 0% in the Sequence
Replicator parameters, onscreen elements begin completely opaque and become
completely transparent.
•
From: Specifies that the animation moves from the value set in the Sequence Replicator
behavior to the original value of the cells. For example, if the original opacity value of a cell
is 100% and opacity is set to 0% in the Sequence Replicator parameters, onscreen elements
begin completely transparent and become completely opaque. This is the opposite of the To
option in the Sequencing pop-up menu.
•
Through: Specifies that the sequence goes through a full animation cycle starting at the
original value of the cells, moves to the value set in the Sequence Replicator, and then
returns to the original value of the cells. For example, if the original opacity value of a cell is
100% and opacity is set to 0% in the Sequence Replicator parameters, onscreen elements
begin completely opaque, become transparent, and then become completely opaque again.
•
Through Inverted: Specifies that the sequence goes through an inverted animation cycle
starting from the value set in the Sequence Replicator, moves to the original value of the
cells, and then returns to the value set in the Sequence Replicator. For example, if the
original opacity value of a cell is 100% and opacity is set to 0% in the Sequence Replicator
parameters, the onscreen elements begin completely transparent, become opaque, and then
become completely transparent. This is the opposite of the Through Sequencing option.
