How to create increasing space between objects in After Effects

[sivh1408]

Hi! I'm looking for a way to distribute objects with an increasing (exponential?) spacing between them. Do you have any tips for a script/plugin/expression, which could help me achieve this in After Effects?

Could be as simple as tying a Math.pow() or Math.exp() expression to the X position. It's just  ot really clear what the values are supposed to be.

Name the first layer "First Layer" and then add an Expression Control Slider named Exponent to the first layer.

Add this expression to every layer below the "First Layer."

ofst = thisComp.layer("First Layer").effect("Exponent")("Slider")/10;
ref = thisComp.layer(index - 1).position;
e = index * Math.exp(ofst);
[ref[0] + e, ref[1]];

The slider lets you adjust the distance between the layers. This is what you get:

That's really elegant @Rick Gerard
