Using the Replicator
Scale
Using the Scale parameter resizes the replicator, affecting the size of the pattern
elements in X, Y, or Z space. To modify the size of the pattern without changing the size
of its elements, use the parameters in the Replicator tab. For example, to enlarge a
rectangle replicator without increasing the size of its elements, use the Scale parameter
(in the Replicator tab); to lengthen a line replicator, use the Start Point and End Point
parameters; to increase the size of a circle replicator, use the Radius parameter.
Blending
Any changes you make to the opacity or blend mode parameters for a replicator are
applied to the replicator as a whole—the result of the replicator pattern is blended into
the scene. For more information about blend modes, see “
page 290. For more information about the Preserve Opacity setting, see “
Note: Within the replicator, the pattern elements can be blended additively or normally
(using the Additive Blend checkbox in the Replicator tab).
Original replicator
When replicator is scaled using
the Scale parameter in the
Properties tab, the entire pattern
and its elements are scaled.
When replicator is scaled using
the Replicator size parameters in
the Replicator tab, the pattern is
scaled, not the cells.
