A Blazingly Fast NFT Image Generator Written In Rust

Author Twitter: @0xSimon

Disclaimer: Only PNG Files Supported. Will add support for other image types later

This repo takes advantage of rust's multithreading and low level capability to provide a blazingly fast NFT Image and Metadata Generator

Big thanks to hashlips for making his repo open source. I used his demo images in this repo, so all credits to him.

Check out his repo here

Benchmark Against Hashlips Generating 100 Images :: About 14x faster

Hashlips: 9.71 seconds

This Repo: .7 seconds

Note: this will be affected by your computer's specs since we multithread based on the number of cores on the computer.

Instructions

Go To src/main.rs

Inspect the main file.

fn main() {
    utils::before_runtime::before_runtime();
    let start_time = std::time::Instant::now();
    let layers = vec![
        Layer::new(String::from("Backgrounds"),String::from("layers/Background")),
        Layer::new(String::from("Bottom Lid"),String::from("layers/Bottom lid")),
        Layer::new(String::from("Eye Color"),String::from("layers/Eye color")),
        Layer::new(String::from("Eyeball"),String::from("layers/Eyeball")),
        Layer::new(String::from("Goo"),String::from("layers/Goo")),
        Layer::new(String::from("Iris"),String::from("layers/Iris")),
        Layer::new(String::from("Shine"),String::from("layers/Shine")),
        Layer::new(String::from("Top Lid"),String::from("layers/Top lid")),


    ];

    let my_gen = Generator::new(START_TOKEN_ID,END_TOKEN_ID,layers,DESCRIPTION);
    my_gen.run_generation();

    let end_time = std::time::Instant::now();
    let duration = end_time.duration_since(start_time);
    println!("Time taken to generate {} images: {:?}",END_TOKEN_ID,duration);
}

Each layer item takes in the name of the layer and the path to where its images lie.

You define the layer in which you want it to be pasted on the image.

i.e. Backgrounds first, body second, etc. etc...

You then create a Generator and define a start token , end token, the layers, and a description.

The generation will start with start token and end with end token.

Then, the execution of generation runs through the function rust my_gen.run_generation()

Rarity

Rarity works the same as in the hashlips repo.

Each image should have "#x" after the filename. The x is the weight of the image in the overall generation.

For example, let's say we have 3 images in a certain folder.

blue_hat#5.png
red_hat#4.png
special_hat#1.png

The probability of blue_hat would be (5+4+1) /5 = 50% Chance.

The probability of red_hat would be (5+4+1) / 4 = 40% Chance

the probablity of special_hat would be (5+4+1)/1 = 10% Chance.
