Using the Replicator

Remember that behaviors often contain parameters that control how layers are
affected. These controls greatly affect the result of a behavior when it is applied to a
replicator layer. For example, if you apply a Spin behavior to a replicator, all pattern
elements rotate individually (rather than the replicator as a whole) when the Affect
Subobjects checkbox is turned on. When Affect Subobjects is turned off, the replicator
layer rotates (rather than the individual elements).

Applying Filters to Replicators

Filters can be applied to a replicator or its sources. When applied to the replicator, filters
affect every element of the replicator pattern, as if it were a single layer. When filters are
applied to the source layers of a replicator, the effect of the filter is retained once the
layer is replicated. Filters cannot, however, be applied to the individual cells of a
replicator.

For more information on applying filters to layers in your project, see “
