Although the result of the Random Fill option from the Arrangement pop-up menu seems
random, it’s deterministic. This means that the random variation in the pattern is created
based on the number shown. Unless this seed number is changed, a replicator with the
same parameter settings and source object always appears the same. If you don’t like
the current random fill, you can change the seed number by typing a new number or
clicking Generate. This changes the random calculations performed for that pattern. This
parameter is also used to randomize the Shuffle Order parameter.
3D: Select this checkbox to add the Box and Sphere shapes to the Shape pop-up menu.
Reverse Stacking: A checkbox that, when selected, inverts the order in which elements
are stacked. To see the effect of this parameter, elements must be overlapping.
Pattern with Reorder disabled: The element to
the right overlaps the next cell to the left.
Pattern with Reorder enabled: The element to
the left overlaps the next cell to the right.
Face Camera: When this checkbox is selected, the pattern elements actively face the
camera when the camera or the replicator is rotated. When Face Camera is deselected,
the elements face forward in the replicator pattern and appear flat (unless the source
layer or pattern elements are rotated in 3D space). Because Motion only supports 2D
objects, this option is key to giving 2D objects the appearance of 3D as the camera is
animated.
