Summary
The Layerrs of Summer Collection introduces a captivating NFT experience, combining two distinct components: an ERC721 art token and ERC1155P color tokens. Together, these tokens create an ever-evolving generative art masterpiece for collectors.
Components and Dynamics
Art Token (ERC721): Collectors mint ERC721 Art Tokens, each with its own unique random seed value. Your first mint of the Art Token will also randomly mint a handful of Color Tokens. This random seed, coupled with the owner’s balance of associated Color Tokens and the total supply of each color, drives the dynamic generation of the artwork. As a collector’s balance of Color Tokens changes by buying, selling or transferring tokens to another wallet and more Color Tokens are minted, the artwork continually transforms.
Color Tokens (ERC1155P): The ERC1155P Color Tokens feature six vibrant colors inspired by the Base Onchain Summer event. A collector’s balance of Color Tokens determine the sizes and positioning of foreground shapes in the artwork. The background is elegantly filled based on the proportion of each Color Token’s total supply relative to the collective supply of all Color Tokens.
Art Generation Process
The art generation process is an intricate interplay of colors, patterns, shapes, and motion, resulting in truly unique and visually stunning creations.
Background Layout: The artwork's backdrop can take on one of three layouts: vertical stripes (common), horizontal stripes (uncommon), or rings (rare). This diversity ensures a captivating visual experience across different pieces.
Color Sequence: The order of colors in the background undergoes delightful permutations. With 720 distinct patterns, each pattern is equally weighted, ensuring that no two pieces appear identical.
Shape Types: The foreground shapes vary in type, including circles (common), rounded squares (uncommon), and triangles (rare). This assortment adds an extra layer of complexity and intrigue to the artwork.
Positioning of Shapes: The grid pattern in the artwork is determined by the random seed. Shapes are meticulously positioned on grid points, ensuring they don't overlap with others. Their randomized positions within their radii add an element of spontaneity.
Accent and Backdrop: The artwork can feature accent pieces (common) that lend character to the composition. These accent pieces complement the shapes with a backdrop whose offset direction is influenced by the token seed. For rarer pieces, flat shapes devoid of accents create a more serene atmosphere.
Motion Types: Different motion effects further enhance the visual dynamics. With BaseMove motion interaction, shapes elegantly move away from the cursor and return to their original positions when the cursor moves away (common). For a more immersive experience, the BaseShake motion (uncommon) imbues the shapes with lively movement. The BaseWave motion (rare) gently animates shapes in a wavey motion, creating a mesmerizing undulating effect.
Locking Art Tokens: Preserving Your Masterpiece
The Layerrs of Summer Collection recognizes that while dynamic generative art is a captivating feature, there may come a time when collectors wish to preserve a specific iteration of their masterpiece. To cater to this desire, we will soon introduce the option to lock an art token, effectively "freezing" its appearance and ensuring that it no longer undergoes dynamic changes based on Color Token balances.
How It Works
Ownership Verification: As the proud owner of an ERC721 art token, you possess the authority to initiate the locking process. By accessing the designated interface, you can begin the journey of finalizing your chosen artwork.
Initiating Lock: Through the interface, you can initiate the locking process by interacting with your art token. This action marks the beginning of the token-locking sequence.
Confirmation: A transaction confirmation step ensures the accuracy of your intention. Once confirmed, the locking process advances to the next stage.
Token Preservation: With the successful completion of the locking process, your art token's appearance is now set in stone. The dynamic generative aspects, driven by color token balances and other variables, are no longer in effect for this specific token.
Benefits of Locking
Artistic Preservation: By locking your art token, you safeguard a particular version of your artwork that resonates with you. This allows you to cherish and share your unique creation exactly as it is.
Collectible Value: Locked art tokens may hold distinct collectible value, as they capture a snapshot of the artwork's evolution at a specific moment in time.
Customization Freedom: With the option to lock, collectors can confidently explore and experiment with dynamic changes on their other Art Tokens while retaining the ability to preserve a preferred variant.
Embrace the Journey
The Locking Art Tokens feature strikes a harmonious balance between dynamic creativity and artistic preservation. Whether you choose to let your artwork evolve or lock it in its current state, Layerrs of Summer empowers you to curate your NFT collection with intention and flair.
