Chapter 9 Using the Replicator 665
Angle End: Specifies (in degrees) the rotation of the replicator elements at the end of
the pattern. The angle value of the elements at the end of the pattern equals the Angle
value (start) plus the Angle End value. For example, if Angle is set to 0 degrees and
Angle End set to 90 degrees, the elements are not rotated at all at their origin, and are
rotated by 90 degrees at the end of the pattern.
Angle Randomness: Defines an amount of variance in the rotation of the replicator
cells. A value of 0 results in no variance—all elements have the same rotational value. A
value greater than 0 introduces a variance. The angle for an individual element is
defined by the Angle and Angle End parameter, plus or minus a random value falling
within the Angle Randomness.
Additive Blend: By default, replicator elements are composited together using the
“normal” blend mode. Turn on this checkbox to composite all overlapping elements
together using the Additive blending mode. This occurs in addition to whichever
compositing method is already being used. The result is that the brightness of
overlapping objects is intensified. This only applies to the replicator itself—the blend
mode of the replicator object determines how the result of the pattern is blended into
the scene.
Color Mode: Specifies the origin of the color for the replicated elements as Original,
Colorize, Color Over Pattern, Pick From Range, and Take Image Color.
