Cloner

The cloner repeats an object into arrays and patterns, letting you build rich, repeated compositions from a single shape without duplicating it by hand.

What it's for

• Turning one icon into a grid or row.
• Building repeated patterns and structured layouts.
• Creating density and rhythm in a composition from a single source object.

Because clones derive from the original, editing the source updates every copy — change the material or shape once and the whole pattern follows.

Tips

• Start with a simple, clean source object — clones multiply both the look and the geometry cost, so a heavy source becomes a very heavy scene.
• Combine the cloner with depth of field (effects) to keep a large array feeling photographic rather than flat.
