rtrdgtzr - Minter's Guide

by {protocell:labs...

18 Aug 2023333 EDITIONS

This article will provide a guide for minters of rtrdgtzr, a long-form collaborative collection on fxhash. What you see when you open the minting window is a blank canvas, an editor, which takes an input image provided by the minter and applies generative post-processing to it. The output is an animated composition which can be exported into a gif, the original animated file format made for the Internet. The input image itself is compressed and stored on-chain through params mechanic as a signal in string format, retrieved every time the artwork is regenerated. rtrdgtzr draws heavily from the tradition of pixel and glitch art, graphics from the '80s and '90s, and techno-dystopian aesthetics of William Gibson's novels. If you want to mint an artwork into the collection, we strongly advise you to read the first part of this guide. Deeper technical details of the collection are provided in the second part of the article.

O B S C V R V M - Algorithms and Code

by {protocell:labs...

16 Dec 20221000 EDITIONS

In this article, we'll try to give an approachable overview of the algorithms and code behind O B S C V R V M collection published on December 6th of 2022 on fxhash. We decided to leave our code open (unminified and unobfuscated), available on public repositories (GitHub), and well documented through writing and talks so it can serve as inspiration to others. This article is an attempt to fulfil this promise. The code itself is commented throughout, and hopefully this narrative walkthrough will give an interested learner enough guidance to independently use and implement the concepts presented here. The article will not go through every single line in the code, rather it will focus on the most important and unique aspects that make O B S C V R V M what it is. Code in this article is edited for clarity and slightly deviates from the one found in the deployed token, although the exact functionality is retained.
