I have a job offer:
I want distribute about 1000 to 2000 portrait images, each about 300pix x 400pix, to form a bigger image, with no overlaps. They need sorting according to certain criteria; location, age, sex, and ranking from 1 to 10. This data will be in the file name. I need the option to control the number of images to use in the image and the spaces between rectangles. And the amount to randomize the scale. I'd also like the option to be able to manually position and lock some 'hero' rectangles, and let the program pack the others around them.
I'm thinking it's probably going to require a combination of automation and manual adjustment.
I want to output the file as an After Effects composition so I can animate it later.
Here's an example image of what we expect it to look like:
