Chapter 9 Using the Replicator 641
Scale
Using the Scale parameter resizes the replicator object, affecting the size of the pattern
elements. 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 “
Using Blend Modes” on
page 249. For more information about the Preserve Opacity setting, see “The Preserve
Opacity Option” on page 247.
Note: Within the replicator, the pattern elements can be blended additively or normally
(using the Additive Blend checkbox).
Original replicator object When replicator object is scaled
using the Scale parameter in the
Properties tab, the entire pattern
and its elements are scaled.
When replicator object is scaled
using the Replicator size parameters
in the Replicator tab, the pattern is
scaled, not the cells.
