Rectangle packing

Programming Questions

in Programming Questions • 1 year ago

I want distribute about 1000 portrait images, each about 300pix x 400pix, to form a bigger image, with no overlaps. I need the option to randomize the scale of the images and the spaces between them, and 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'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.
This is a paid job btw.

Meaning you're getting paid or are you looking to hire someone? If you're looking to hire someone, you should post in the opportunities section.

I had the same question than sansumbrella...
If that's a job offer, I will move it to the appropriate section.
Perhaps you reserve details for later or private message, but you need to give more details, like randomization factor (min size, max size), how to do the sorting (and how it can prevent from packing? Seems like contradictory), how you define hero and its position, etc.
