affects only the state of the cell pattern, not geometrics or other controls. For example, two identical states of the cell
pattern don’t appear the same if viewed with different Size or Offset settings.)
• Random Seed Specifies a unique random value from which to generate the pattern. Animating this control
results in flashing from one set of cell shapes to another of the same cell pattern type. For smooth transition of the
cell pattern, use the Evolution control.
Note: Create new cell pattern animations by reusing previously created Evolution cycles and changing only the Random
Seed value. Typing a new Random Seed value alters the cell pattern without disturbing the evolution animation.
Checkerboard effect
The Checkerboard effect creates a checkerboard pattern.
A matching color produces a subtle Checkerboard effect (center); using red with high Width and low Height settings (right) creates a striped
effect.
Adjust the following controls for the Checkerboard effect:
Anchor Specifies the point of origin, or anchor point, of the Checkerboard pattern. Moving the anchor point offsets
the pattern.
Size From Specifies how the effect defines the size of the squares. Choose one of the following options from
the menu:
• Corner Point Specifies that the spatial relationship between the corner point and anchor point controls deter-
mines the checkerboard size.
• Width Slider Specifies that the Width value determines the checkerboard pattern size and shape. The individual
checkered shape remains square because the Width value determines both width and height of the checkers.
• Width & Height Sliders Specifies that the Width and Height values determine the checkerboard pattern size and
shape. Choose this option to set the width and height of the checkered shapes independently.

of these two points to define the size of the checkerboard pattern if you choose Corner Point in the Size From menu.
Width Specifies the horizontal width of the checkerboard pattern. If you choose Width Slider in the Size From menu,
this value determines both the width and height of the checkerboard pattern. If you choose Width & Height Sliders
in the Size From menu, this value determines the width only.
Height Determines the vertical height of the checkerboard squares when you choose Width & Height Sliders in the
Size From menu.
Feather Specifies the size of the edge feather of the checkerboard pattern. Expand this control to reveal the
Width and Height sliders. Set Width and Height values independently, or set them both to the same value for
auniform feather.
Color Specifies the color of one set of the checkerboard squares. The other set of squares is always transparent.
Opacity Specifies the transparency of the checkerboard pattern.
