Making it 3D! Looking at 3D options for replicators
Replicators are already powerful on their own but turn them into 3D and you'll find options for a few new shapes as well as parameters. Let's take a look!
Getting ready
Under the exercise files of this chapter, double-click on the 08_06
project. Play back the project. Inside the project, there is a Replicator of leaves being animated onscreen in the shape of a rectangle. Go to the Replicator tab in the Inspector to see that the value Origin is set to Lower Left and of the Build Style is set to By Column. These two parameters control the way the sequence replicator animates onscreen. Click on the Behaviors tab and then click on the disclosure triangle next to Position.
