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.
Traversal: This pop-up menu sets the action of the sequence behavior to one of the
following:
• Constant Speed: The sequence animation moves from the origin of the replicator pattern
through the end of the pattern at a constant speed. The sequence moves in the direction
specified in the replicator parameters, such as the origin or build style.
• Ease In: The sequence animation begins slowly and increases to normal speed as it
moves through the replicator pattern.
• Ease Out: The sequence animation begins at normal speed and slows toward the end
of the replicator pattern.
• Ease In/Out: The sequence animation begins slowly, increases to normal speed as it
moves toward the middle of the duration of the replicator pattern, and slows as it
reaches the end of the replicator pattern.
• Accelerate: The sequence animation increases in speed.
• Decelerate: The sequence animation decreases in speed.
• Custom: This option allows you to keyframe how the animation moves through the
replicator pattern. When Custom is selected from the Traversal pop-up menu, the
Location parameter replaces the Loops parameter.
• Location: This slider, available when Custom is chosen from the Traversal pop-up menu,
defines the location of the pattern where the animation is in effect.
For more information on using the Custom Traversal option, see Using the Sequence
Replicator Custom Traversal Option.
Loops: This slider sets the number of times the animation sequences through the
replicator pattern over its duration.
Note: Loops is not available when the Traversal parameter is set to Custom.
End Condition: A pop-up menu that sets how the sequence animation is repeated over
the duration of the replicator object. This parameter has no effect for Loop values less
than or equal to 1. End Condition options are:
• Hold: Completes the sequence animation cycle one time, then starts it again from the
beginning (after the last element in the sequence completes its animation).
