Zoom out to show hundreds of images or layers?
I want to make an effect like this:
1. Show 4-5 images (or layer of whatever)
2. Zoom out to see hundreds more images or layers around the first 4-5They don’t have to be random, just fit in nicely grid (like Google Images grid in search results). What is the best way to do this? Is it just multiple layers containing multiple images? Or just there a way to “programatically” organize this?
Thanks.

If you have trapcode Particular you could create put your photos in a precomp, use them as a custom sprite and set up a grid emitter.
If not you could set up an expression to space your layers. I would make all layers the same size to start, then you could apply an expression like this the position of the layers. It will automatically space each layer an equal distance from the next layer.(Compliments of Marcus Geduld):
var columns = 10;
var spaceBetweenLayers = thisLayer.width + 10;
var x = ((index-1) % columns) * spaceBetweenLayers;
var y = Math.floor((index-1) / columns) * spaceBetweenLayers;
var origin = [40,50];

I don’t have trapcode Particular so I used your expression. That is sweet because it works 😉

Hi, this is just the expression I am looking for, well, almost. I was hoping if you could help to modify it so that the images have no spaces between them (column or row) and sit next to each other, no gaps at all?
Many thanks in advance.
