3D NFT Art Generator with Maya

Plugin for Maya that generates unique render from a collection of component trait based on weight.

Dependencies

• Maya2018 and up
• Python 2.7

Install

copy everything to C:\Users\user\Documents\maya\2018\scripts,

in maya script editor run following.

import gen_main
import ui
import farm_ui
import farm_submission
ui.runMayaTemplateUi()

Usage

• step1: set generate project folder
  As default, the generate project will set to locate in your maya project folder.
  By clicking the set button, it will create a scene folder and render folder inside of generate project folder

• step2: create layer map
  layer map is the map that store all your traits data and the weights.
  Component assets structure in Outliner for layer map.
  

• step3: edit your weight in layer map
  use step2 notepad for weight editing.
  example:

"cap": {
        "attributes": {
            "00_no_trait": {
                "trait_weight": 0
            },
            "astronaut": {
                "trait_weight": 1.0
            },
            "bunny": {
                "trait_weight": 1.0
            },
            "fedora": {
                "trait_weight": 1.0
            },
            "gary": {
                "trait_weight": 1.0
            },
            "horn": {
                "trait_weight": 1.0
            }
        }
    }

each trait weight is 1, total are 5, so each one has 20% chance.
and 00_no_trait is 0, so it has 0% chance.

• step4: generate traits data
  generating a list of trait data base on layer map.
  example:

    "0": {
        "body": "victory",
        "cap": "bunny",
        "feet": "shoe",
        "hand": "group11",
        "head": "face2",
        "plane": "group6"
    },
    "1": {
        "body": "dress",
        "cap": "fedora",
        "feet": "high",
        "hand": "group11",
        "head": "face2",
        "plane": "group10"
    },

this map will be use for to set up the key frames for final render.

• step5: generate scene file
  using trait data to set up the key frames for final render.
  everything that was grey out is for animation render. don't have implement yet.

• step6: render
  default using farm for rendering
  for local render please use batch render.
