•
Custom: Lets you specify the percentage of elements in the pattern that are affected by the
sequence animation at once. Although you can create keyframes for the Custom option, it
is not required to affect the sequence. As shown in the following images, the Object and
All options allow you to sequence the animation through the origin or build style of the
pattern, or through all pattern elements simultaneously.
Unit Size set to Object sequences
the animation over the build of the pattern.
Unit Size set to All sequences
the animation over all cells simultaneously.
Custom lets you define an area of elements—based on percentage—that are affected by
the sequence.
Unit Size set to Custom allows you to define
the percentage of cells affected as the sequence
moves through the pattern.
When Custom is chosen from the Unit Size pop-up menu, the Start and End parameters
become available.
•
Start: This slider, available when Custom is chosen from the Unit Size pop-up menu, specifies
the offset of the start of the range of elements affected by the sequence animation as it moves
over the replicator pattern. In the above image, Start is set to 10%.
•
End: This slider, available when Custom is chosen from the Unit Size pop-up menu, specifies
the end of the range of elements affected by the sequence animation as it moves over the
replicator pattern. By default, End is set to 10%. In the above image, End is set to 30%.
Note: If the Sequencing pop-up menu is set to Custom, the Custom option in the Unit Size
parameter has no affect.
•
Spread: This slider controls the amount of falloff of the animation. To create a softer transition
between each element, increase the Spread value.
