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
6 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.
7 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.
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.
