226 Tutorial 5 The Replicator
Exercise 2: Animating the Replicator
Now that you have a basic setup for a replicator pattern, you can animate it. Use a
Parameter behavior, the Sequence Replicator behavior, and a Simulation behavior to
animate the pattern.
Continue with the project you started in the previous exercise.
Animating the Offset
Animate the pattern’s Offset parameter by applying a ramp to it. The ramp will adjust a
parameter over time from a starting value to an end value.
To ramp the Offset:
1 In the Inspector, Control-click the Offset parameter, then choose Ramp from the
shortcut menu.
The Behavior tab is displayed, and the Ramp parameter is selected.
2 Set Start Value to 120 percent.
As with many parameters, you can adjust Start Value in any of several ways:
• Adjust the slider.
• Type a number in the value field.
• Drag in the value field.
• Click the increment or decrement arrow in the value field.
3 Set End Value to -80 percent.
4 Play the project (press the Space bar).
