expression to make objects spread away in z-space
So I have 21 layers that need to move away from each other proportionately in z-space. They all start off the same size so setting them up on different planes and using the camera doesn’t work. I can move each layer but ideally what I’d like to do is move one layer and have them all move proportionately away from each other.
Expressions are a foreign language I learn bits and pieces of as needed and unfortunately I quickly forget what I don’t write down and I recall in the past using one similar on an X-axis animation years ago.
Thank you.

This is how I think it should look but it doesn’t work. By the time I get to layer 21, it’s in another galaxy.
z=thisComp.layer(index+1).transform.position[2]*10;
[1920,1080,[z]]; -
Don’t multiple by 10. The further each layer gets back the bigger the difference between them. If you’re okay with the spacing being the same add (+) a number.
….position[2] + 100
For each layer down it will move it back in z space by 100 pixels.
