Your Ultimate Guide to Creating Unique NFTs with nft-generator-py

Sep 20, 2023 | Blockchain

Unlock the exciting world of NFT creation with the nft-generator-py script! This powerful tool allows you to generate unique digital artworks programmatically using weighted layer files. Let’s dive into how to get started and make the most of this innovative script.

Getting Started

Follow these quick and straightforward steps to set up nft-generator-py on your machine:

  1. Clone the repository:
  2. git clone https://github.com/Jon-Becker/nft-generator-py
  3. Navigate into the cloned directory:
  4. cd nft-generator-py
  5. Install the required dependencies:
  6. python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
  7. Create a configuration file or use the build_config command to generate it from a directory of traits.

For in-depth information about configuration files, see the section on Configuration.

Command Line Interface (CLI) Options

Here are the various commands available for use:

Command Usage Description
generate python3 main.py generate –config config [options] Generates a set of images using the provided configuration file.
build_config python3 main.py build_config –trait-dir trait_dir [options] Builds a configuration file from a directory of traits.
validate python3 main.py validate –config config [options] Validates a configuration file.
update_metadata python3 main.py update_metadata –image-path config [options] Updates the metadata files for all generated images at the provided –output path.

Understanding Configuration Files

Think of a configuration file as a recipe for your NFTs. Each layer represents an ingredient in this recipe, and they combine to create deliciously unique digital treats. Here’s a glimpse of what goes into this recipe:

layers: [
    {
        name: Background,
        values: [Blue, Orange, Purple, Red, Yellow],
        trait_path: .trait-layers/backgrounds,
        filename: [blue, orange, purple, red, yellow],
        weights: [30, 45, 15, 5, 10]
    },
    ...
],
incompatibilities: [
    {
        layer: Background,
        value: Blue,
        incompatible_with: [Python Logo 2],
        default: {
            value: Default Incompatibility,
            filename: .trait-layers/foreground/logo
        }
    },
],
baseURI: .,
name: NFT #,
description: This is a description for this NFT series.

In this recipe, you have layers (the various aspects of your NFT) with specific weights denoting how often each trait should appear. Adjusting the weights is like tweaking the amount of each ingredient for unique results!

Troubleshooting Tips

Before you start generating your incredible NFTs, keep these troubleshooting ideas in mind:

  • Ensure all images are in .png format.
  • Check that all images are the same size in pixels (e.g., 1000×1000).
  • Verify that the weight values for each attribute add up to 100.
  • If you encounter issues while generating images, feel free to consult the community for support.
