Chapter 9 Using the Replicator 693
• End: Specifies the end of the range of elements affected by the sequence
animation as it moves over the replicator pattern. By default, End is set to 10
percent. In the above image, End is set to 30 percent.
Note: If the Sequencing pop-up menu is set to Custom, the Custom option in the
Unit Size parameter has no affect.
Traversal: Sets the action of the sequence behavior to Constant Speed, Ease In, Ease
Out, Ease In/Out, or Custom.
• Ramp: Moves the animation from the origin of the replicator pattern through the
end of the pattern at a constant speed. The sequence moves in the direction
specified in the replicator parameters, such as the origin or build style.
• Ease In: The sequence animation begins slowly and increases to normal speed as it
moves through the replicator pattern.
• Ease Out: The sequence animation begins at normal speed and slows toward the
end of the replicator pattern.
• Ease In/Out: The sequence animation begins slowly, increases to normal speed as it
moves toward the middle of the duration of the replicator pattern, and slows as it
reaches the end of the replicator pattern.
• Custom: Allows you to keyframe how the animation moves through the replicator
pattern. When Custom is selected from the Traversal pop-up menu, the Location
parameter becomes available.
• Location: Defines the location of the pattern where the animation is in effect.
For more information on using the Custom Traversal option, see “Using the Sequence
Replicator Custom Traversal Option” on page 694.
Loops: Sets the number of times the animation sequences through the replicator
pattern over its duration.
Note: Loops is not available when the Traversal parameter is set to Custom.
End Condition: Determines how the sequence animation is repeated over the duration
of the replicator object. This parameter has no effect for Loop values less than or equal
to 1. The End Condition options are:
• Hold: Completes the sequence animation cycle one time, then starts it over again
from the beginning (once the last element in the sequence has completed its
animation).
• Wrap: Treats the sequence animation as a continuous loop so the spread wraps from
the last element in the sequence to the first element.
• Ping Pong: Completes the sequence animation cycle forward, then completes the
animation backward, then forward, and so on.
