## Pages

- [Cloner Overview](https://help.maxon.net/ag/en-us/Content/html/Instancer_overview.html.md): The Cloner is available from the list of generators like Noise or Circle; but, it has a particular status because whereas other generators provide a …
- [Template](https://help.maxon.net/ag/en-us/Content/html/Template.html.md): Whatever the state of the Instance Mode, the first thing to do is define the graphic source to instantiate.
- [Instance Transformation](https://help.maxon.net/ag/en-us/Content/html/Instance_transform.html.md): Once a source is connected to the Template parameter, like the circle here instantiated 10 times, unfold the Instance Transform 1 section.
- [Rasterization and Caching](https://help.maxon.net/ag/en-us/Content/html/Rasterization.html.md): By using a Circle generator as a Template and setting the Dimension Size to 10, we can increase the scale to 1.25 and produce several duplicates that …
- [Motion Blur (Cloner)](https://help.maxon.net/ag/en-us/Content/html/Instances_motion_blur.html.md): Changing the Instance Transform X parameters and add keyframes will animate all instances. During these moves it is possible to calculate a motion-blur.
- [Index Mode and Ordering](https://help.maxon.net/ag/en-us/Content/html/index_mode1.htm.md): Let's take a look at what the Cloner actually does when we instantiate a Template. The Cloner constitutes a stack in which the sources are stacked on top …
- [Instance Time Offset](https://help.maxon.net/ag/en-us/Content/html/Instance_time_offset.html.md): The Template section contains an image parameter with a source, but it can also have modifiers added per instance, like an Animator for example. You can …
- [Instance Opacity](https://help.maxon.net/ag/en-us/Content/html/Instane_opacity.html.md): This parameter defines the global opacity for each instance, acting as a multiplier on the Alpha layer already present in the source to be instantiated.
- [Use Table as Position](https://help.maxon.net/ag/en-us/Content/html/Table_as_position.html.md): Globally or relatively placing instances is not the only way to position sources used as templates. You can reference data from an external table using …
- [Instanciation on Paths](https://help.maxon.net/ag/en-us/Content/html/Instanciation_on_path.html.md): Autograph offers many ways to transform instances including:
- [Distribute Comp Layers](https://help.maxon.net/ag/en-us/Content/html/Distribute_comp_layers.html.md): By default, the Instance Mode of the Cloner is in "Source" mode. This means that only one source can be distributed, although this can be varied as we …
- [Multiple Dimensions](https://help.maxon.net/ag/en-us/Content/html/Multiple_dimensions.html.md): The Instancer allows you to define multi-dimensional spaces, up to 4. Each dimension has its own "Instance Transform" parameters.
