Blender Import/Export Script

ETA 3-4 days

Want to be able to associate the art with Title + Description + Platform minted on, perhaps via generating textures for 2 separate materials in Blender or adjoining them together into 1 texture and using a UVmap to separate into different meshes. It might become tricky if using an atlas since things will get mixed up easily, creating more manual work for us.

Some ideas on how to solve:

  1. Order things together based on size / resolution
  2. Adjoin metadata pieces together, can be same size for UVmap placement
  3. Make sure each artwork is associated with its metadata / placement

Need a couple scripts:

  • CSV with Number (1-100), ID, Title, Description, Featured Image, Platform

  • Imagemagick script

    • Check Featured Image URLs to avoid basename conflicts, download
      • [x]]Ignore gifs for now
    • Measure size of each image (identify -ping -format '%w %h' image.jpg)
      • Add data to each row
    • Create title / description image texture (https://imagemagick.org/Usage/text/)
    • Compose logo of minting platform at bottom right

  • Download / Convert Featured Image URLs to nearest Power of Two (see Anata scripts)

    • Can rename image filenames to $id.ext
    • $id_metadata.jpg for metadata textures

  • Python script

    • Import into Blender with Image as Planes
    • Scale according to resolution (each image starts as square)
    • Move each image in the scene to be separated
      • Experiment with different layouts
        • Grid
        • Circular
        • Cascade
        • Street
        • Gallery
    • Export as glTF file
      • Atlas all images smaller than ~1024x1024
        • Can use pureref or UVmap plugin?
      • Apply resizing / compression / optimizations

import bpy

def import_image_plane(image_path):
    # Clear existing mesh objects
    bpy.ops.object.select_all(action='DESELECT')
    bpy.ops.object.select_by_type(type='MESH')
    bpy.ops.object.delete()

    # Import image as plane
    bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_plane_add(size=1, enter_editmode=False, align='WORLD', location=(0, 0, 0))
    plane = bpy.context.object
    plane.name = "ImagePlane"

    # Set the material using the image texture
    mat = bpy.data.materials.new(name="ImageMaterial")
    mat.use_nodes = True
    bsdf = mat.node_tree.nodes["Principled BSDF"]
    tex_image = mat.node_tree.nodes.new(type="ShaderNodeTexImage")
    tex_image.image = bpy.data.images.load(image_path)
    mat.node_tree.links.new(bsdf.inputs['Base Color'], tex_image.outputs['Color'])

    # Assign the material to the plane
    if plane.data.materials:
        plane.data.materials[0] = mat
    else:
        plane.data.materials.append(mat)

    return plane

def scale_plane_to_texture_size(plane):
    # Get image texture dimensions
    tex_width = plane.material_slots[0].material.node_tree.nodes["Image Texture"].image.size[0]
    tex_height = plane.material_slots[0].material.node_tree.nodes["Image Texture"].image.size[1]

    # Calculate scale factors
    scale_x = tex_width / 1024
    scale_y = tex_height / 1024

    # Apply scale to the plane
    plane.scale.x = scale_x
    plane.scale.y = scale_y

# Example usage
image_path = "/path/to/image/1of1s/16048.png"
plane = import_image_plane(image_path)
scale_plane_to_texture_size(plane)

Ideas

  • try extruding into canvas frame
  • try creating a custom frame for every image on plane

Pros

  • Can create reusable assets for many different platforms
  • More optimized assets and reduced draw calls
  • Could turn into an interesting NFT collection, mementos

Cons

  • Not useful for gifs, mp4, HTML, audio NFTs
  • More advanced, might take more work

  • Create a hyperfy gallery world with placeholder objects
    • Can reuse Oncyber galleries that jin bought
    • Create something new in color scheme for Optimism
  • Implement some kind of counter that signed in users can use to vote on each piece
    • Gather votes after each day before next rotation, reset counter

Notes

277 cases of missing featured images for submission entries, including jin's "Burning the Midnight Oil" which is a HTML NFT. For entries that are not static media (jpg, png, gif), having a featured image might give the wrong impression of the art if viewed only as the thumbnail.

Noticed there were cases of spam entries, this one is ~10% of generative art category. Can easily check for duplicate entries by searching columns for duplicates using Google Sheets.
