In the next illustrations, the group that contains the replicator is rasterized. (The
rasterization is triggered by setting the Opacity parameter of the group to 90%.) As a
result of the rasterization, the replicator’s Add blend mode no longer interacts with the
group beneath it in the layer stack. Notice that the group icon for the rasterized group
now appears with a rasterization frame around the icon (the icon immediately to the left
of the Elements group.
The Elements group is rasterized, indicated by the
frame around the group icon.
The replicator blend mode no longer interacts
with the group beneath it in the project.
A rasterized 3D group as a whole can no longer intersect with objects outside of its group.
In the following illustration on the left, the nonrasterized group that contains the replicator
intersects with an image from another group. In the illustration on the right, a Gradient
Blur filter applied to the replicator group has caused the replicator group to rasterize. As
a result, the replicator no longer intersects with the image from another group.
Note: Unlike vector graphics, rasterized groups may lose quality when scaled.
Note: When a group is rasterized, cameras and lights in the project still interact with
objects within the rasterized group.
