Creating a generative art project

Generative art projects can be simple and complex, depending on the complexity of the layers you want to add. Creativity is the key to a successful generative art project. To create a generative art project, you can follow these steps or watch the video tutorial below:
1

Go to the Art Gallery.
2

Click on the “Create” button.
3

Select the “Generative” option.1 of 1s option
4

Upload your generative asset folder. You may refer here for the folder structureGenerative folder structure
5

Setup your layer hierarchy to make sure that your image are on top of the correct layers
6

Setup your trait rarity if you want to make certain traits more rare than others
7

Setup your rules to make sure that your traits will only appear if the certain rules are met
8

Set the token name, description, and quantity for each collection and generate your NFTsGenerative generate
The maximum quantity is determined by multiplying the number of traits in each layer together.E.g, if you have 3 layers with 4, 5, and 6 traits respectively:
Maximum Quantity = 4 × 5 × 6 = 120
9

Optional: Add 1 of 1s
10

Finalize your preview
11

Publish your art project.
You will need to have atleast one asset generated to publish your art project

Generative folder structure

The folder structure for a generative art project is as follows: 
- collection_1
  - layer_1
      - trait_1.png
      - trait_2.png
  - layer_2
      - trait_3.png
      - trait_4.png
- collection_2 (optional)
  - layer_1
      - trait_1.png
      - trait_2.png
  - layer_2
      - trait_3.png
      - trait_4.png

Warning: Make sure that the resolution of the traits are the same. E.g. all ratio are set to 1:1

Hierarchy setup

Hierarchy is important to make sure that your image are on top of the correct layers. You can setup your hierarchy by dragging and dropping the layers in the order you want.Generative hierarchy setup
To rename layers, you will need to go to the rarity tab and click on the layer settings icon. ""
Hierarchy setup playbook:
  • Folder structure is important. Make sure that the folder and file names are final so that you will not need to bother with renaming them.
  • The first layer is the frontmost layer. This layer will be the one that appears on top of the other layers.
  • The last layer is the backmost layer. This layer will be the one that appears on the bottom of the other layers.
  • Play around with the trait preview to ensure that all of your traits match the layer hierarchies. You can select or hide any trait and see how it looks on the preview.
  • Hierarchy for each collection will be independent of each other. Double check the collection tabs and see if the hierarchy is set for each collection.
  • Do not forget to save your hierarchy after you have set it up.
