I originally posted this in the Photoshop Mac forum and it was suggested I post here for some help.
I'm rendering out a large-ish print piece (7500x5000pixel HDR) in my 3D app, Cinema 4D. It has a feature called Tiled Camera that chops the scene into a number of tiles and sends each one to a network render client. This is considerably faster than one machine doing the entire frame.
The problem is that I have to manually combine all the image tiles in Photoshop once its done. Yeah, it's kinda clunky. The tile camera doesn't have any overlap between adjacent tiles, so Photomerge doesn't have any pixels to line up.
Depending on the project, there might be 9 tiles or there might be 1000. The number of rows and columns always = √"total # of images". All tiles are the same size. The final image length would be (√"total # of images" * "one tile X width in pixels"). Likewise, height would be (√"total # of images" * "one tile Y height in pixels"). The Tile Camera renders across first then down, so it seems like the process would be "easy" to automate.
It would be cool if the script would auto recognize the number of images and calculate the final canvas size using the above math. But even if a user has to manually input those variables, that would still save hours of hand assembly work.
If anyone feels exceptionally generous and daring, I attached a folder of JPEGs rendered out by the Tile Camera.
Here's how it should look when assembled:
I'd really appreciate any time someone could devote to this.
