I think some clarification is needed:

* Is this your actual scene code, or is it just a condensed or abstract example?

* Which is more important to you, getting the ARRAY itself to work correctly, or
just getting CAM3 to work correctly? (The array may not be necessary.)

* In the #for loop, is 'numofpics' raised to the 1/2 power? (I.e., square root?)
It appears to be.

Is this what your WANT the values in the array to be?
