234 Tutorial 5 The Replicator
2 In the Shape tab of the Inspector, set Feather to -22.
The edges of the shape are feathered inward, giving a striking, organic look to the
pattern.
At this point, you have created a regular, symmetrical pattern. One final touch: Add a
Simulation behavior to the pattern to give it irregularity.
Traversal
The Traversal parameter changes the animation curves that are generated by the
Sequence Replicator behavior. Changing Traversal alters how each change made by
the Sequence Replicator behavior appears over the course of the sequence, and thus
modifies the appearance of the pattern. Changing the Traversal mode can subtly alter
the look of a pattern at a given frame.
Experiment with different Traversal options.
Set Traversal back to Constant Speed when you are finished.
Traversal set to Constant Speed Traversal set to Ease In/Out at the same frame
