Setting Up The Boxie Collection

Since this collection doesn't actually exists we are going to make it ourselves. Feel free to skip this portion and just grab the trait metadata from the resources Resources.

The Boxie collection only has three different traits categories:

• Head

  • classic box

  • sphere

  • smiley face

• Upper

  • classic red

  • classic blue

  • classic purple

  • metallic red

  • metallic blue

  • metallic purple

  • polka dots

  • stripes

• Lower

  • dark

  • light

Let's make a collection of 100 boxies. This is going to be a very rudimentary collection generation in python.

import random
import json

SEED = 92310
OUTPUT_FILE = "boxie_metadata.json"


"""
List of tuples where the first item is the name of the trait
and the second item is the total supply of that trait.
"""

head = [
	("classic box", 60),
	("sphere", 30),
	("smiley face", 10)
]

upper = [
    ("classic red", 18),
    ("classic blue", 18),
    ("classic purple", 18),
    ("metallic red", 12),
    ("metallic blue", 12),
    ("metallic purple", 12),
    ("polka dots", 6),
    ("stripes", 4),

]

lower = [
	("dark", 60),
	("light", 40)
]

  
random.seed(SEED)

def populate_list(trait_list):
    """
    Create a list of the full population of traits
    """
    
    populated_list = []
  
    for trait_name, trait_count in trait_list:
        populated_list.extend([trait_name for _ in range(trait_count)])

    return populated_list

  
# populate all lists and shuffle them
head_populated = populate_list(head)
random.shuffle(head_populated)
  
upper_populated = populate_list(upper)
random.shuffle(upper_populated)

lower_populated = populate_list(lower)
random.shuffle(lower_populated)

collection = []

for token_id in range(100):
    token_data = {
        "id": token_id,
        "name": f"Boxie {token_id}",
        "image": "https://fake-collection-api.io/images/token_id.jpg",
        "mml": "https://fake-collection-api.io/mml/token_id.jpg",
        "attributes": [
            {"value": head_populated[token_id], "trait_type": "head"},
            {"value": upper_populated[token_id], "trait_type": "upper"},
            {"value": lower_populated[token_id], "trait_type": "lower"},
        ],
    }

    collection.append(token_data)

with open(OUTPUT_FILE, "w") as f:
    json.dump(collection, f, indent=4)

You can run this script directly in Blender by:

• Changing the view to the scripting tab

• Create a new text block by clicking the New Button

• Paste the script above into the text block, you can change the variable OUTPUT_FILE to a location that makes sense for you, like in a folder for this project. Then press the run button.

This should save out a JSON file that is structured like an NFT collection metadata.
