Non-fungible token (NFT) creative network Palm NFT Studio is rolling out the Palm Generative Art Maker, a tool to help creators store generative art collections on the blockchain.
The tool provides the infrastructure for artists to carefully craft their code, chain it, and produce a range of generative artwork. While the process used to be challenging for creators with no coding knowledge, the tool simplifies bulk rendering, trait and rarity systems, and asset generation. In addition, the tool allows users to develop moving and static 3D assets, as well as generate the text and metadata.
Straith Schreder, executive creative director of Palm NFT Studio, told CoinDesk that the tool will not only help smaller artists develop their digital art collections, but also help larger companies produce generative experiences across thousands of assets.
“If you’re a brand or an individual creator, it can be costly and intimidating to create in this exponential mode,” said Schreder. “Improving the barrier to entry and improving the barrier to entry through this tool felt very important.”
The genre of generative art has exploded in popularity in recent years. Built on top of 3D game production software Unreal Engine, the tool enables creators to produce in-game assets and inverted experiences, expanding the capabilities of generative art production.
“To be able to deliver game-ready assets and 3D collections felt like something really important for us to build into our own roadmap and offer to partners,” Schreder told CoinDesk.
Palm NFT Studio has taken steps to advocate for digital art since it was founded two years ago with new funding of $27 million. In March, the company teamed up with Nadya Tolokonnikova, a member of the Russian activist group Pussy Riot, to teach about activist art and to host a feminist art contest at NFT.NYC in April.
