That basically reverses the whole effector. So, what you need to do instead is invert the effect of this particular effector, and the easiest way to do that is to go onto the effector tab and just change the maximum value here to minus 100%. Now, to get the initial blend state, you might think you can just do minus 100%, but that doesn't really work out. You can see now with the modified clone at 100%, we are getting the final blend state on all of the clones. We will go ahead and turn off position for now and increase the modified clone. The key parameter here is the modified clone. To do that, what you are going to do is go in and add a plain effector, and again, make sure that the cloner is selected so that the effector is automatically applied. The first thing you might want to do is zero out the blend state, so that all the clones are the same.

Well, what we want to do now is actually control this with effectors, which is where things really get fun. Here you can see that in the grid array we have got the first version and the last, and we are smoothly interpolating between those two versions. Here we have one version of the snowflake, I'll hide the axis, and here we have another. In a previous tutorial, we already looked at how the blend mode will allow you to smoothly interpolate between the objects that are children of the cloner. In this tutorial, we are going to look at how you can use MoGraph's Effectors to control the blend mode on the cloner.
