  Random Position without Overlap

  Posted by Juliana Silvestrin on October 30, 2023 at 5:50 pm

  I’m starting to learn expression for after effects and I have a question that I couldn’t find the answer to on the internet forums.

  I have this grid (4×4 in a 1920×1920 area) where this elements have random positions that follow a seed number on a slider in a null.

  I uploaded a video to show what I am talking about.

  In almost all seed numbers the elements overlap (as shown in the video), is there any way to prevent them from doing this? Any expression?

  Observations:

  Small elements have an area of 480x480px and large elements have an area of 960x960px.

  My after effects is in Portuguese (I’m Brazilian) so “Controle Deslizante” is “Slider”, “Posição” is “Position” and “Controle” is “Control”
