[@cintiastrange3809]

Hi, I'm really thankful for this tool, it will make it possible for me to gather the funds I need for surgery so I wanted to personally thank you :) Also, I think I'm doing something wrong cause it renders every single trait all together in each variant, I imagine it has to do with enabled and disabled collections/objects but can't pinpoint what cause if I do that it comes out all black... should everything be disabled except for the proxy or maybe I'm placing the light sources in the wrong place? thanks a bunch!

@@cintiastrange3809 Hi! I have the same problem, did yu fix it? :(

[@nikp1381]

One suggestion in case this is not possible already. Add subcollections within a collection: - For instance, a "Body" collection with multiple assets within it would work just fine but in the scenario that we wanted the assets to come in multiple colours, each colour would need to be treated as a separate asset. So it would be helpful to have instead, Bodies> Asset #1 > Black Colour or Red or Green etc....

I honestly don’t know how to express my gratitude man. I was just thinking of how to get json files generated yesterday and you dropped a video! I freaking love you!

[@franklinfache]

I just wanna Appreciate you for this Addon, I've been using it since the version 2, I'm a Nigerian, 3d artist, been using blender for 10 years now. I recently found a new sustainable source of income creating 3d NFT Art collection for clients. I use to manually generate as much as 500 unique characters before, it's was super tedious, nerve wrecking and takes forever to complete, this wasn't sustainable until I discovered your addon it has literally saved my life, I just completed 3 different large NFT collections for clients at record time.

[@Awok59]

Thank you very much Logan. For everything you have shared with us so far... I watch many of your videos several times a day. Thanks to you I was able to create an entire 3D collection with more than 100 million possible variants starting from Zero in 3D. Everyone around me finds the purpose very qualitative and it is thanks to you that I will soon be able to publish it. you are a good person Logan. But I have to leave you I have a video to watch now haha

[@Awok59]

I posted this comment before watching the video because I wanted to tell you for a long time. I had predicted that you would bring the solutions to my last problems in your next video. I was waiting for it impatiently. In fact it's even better than I expected because you also provide solutions to things that I wanted to bring to my collection on which I had done a cross. So again THANK YOU SO MUCH LOGAN. I wish you the best. A Frenchman without arms

You’re so welcome!! Thanks for the support!

[@MaxDoesMortgages]

LETS GOOOOOO!!!! Been waiting for this, but I didn't expect so much new stuff!! Thanks so much you have no idea how helpful this is to me. One thing thought, when i generate a collection the "FZ Randomizer 3.0" Tab goes away regardless if I click the arrow or not. It comes back after control "z"ing a few times but thats pretty inconvenient since it deletes my variants. Other than that this add-on is perfect!

[@FruitZeus]

Sometimes it does this if there’s no active object selected. Just re-select an object (click on proxy object) and don’t have to control Z in this case

[@José-313]

Friggin legend!! for animated projects can we send it to a render farm? also, for the batch rendering, can you choose how many variants you want the system to generate?

[@FruitZeus]

Yes! It's possible. It's a little bit of a hack, but when you're ready to render, you can change the "number of variants" slider at the very start to the amount you want to batch render for animations. Then it will only render that many. You can also use the start and step in the output panel to determine where the render should start as well as how many frames the render should jump when iterating through the renders. Just remember to change the variant slider back when you're done. Again it's a little bit of a hack for now, but that will work!

[@José-313]

[@Toeknuckles]

hellllll yeah dude! I've been watching your progress on this for a while now and its coming along great!! I'm working on a project at the moment where we'd like the ability to recreate our 2d collection in 3d, Just wondering if you have a plan to add a feature where we could specify a folder for existing metadata from the collection as a template to generate the 3d files from ? 🤔 maybe just a feature that toggles visablity of the different traits depending on what the plugin can read from the json file, exports the render/3d file, and moves on to the next json in the list?

[@FruitZeus]

Yes! This is absolutely coming next. Actually the functionality isn’t that difficult to do. You’ll just need to recall the .csv file line by line.

This is an amazing bit of scripting - thank you so much for sharing this with us. I have a quick question though about VRAM usage. Does this load every single possible texture into the VRAM from the start and then only render what it needs on each frame - or does each frame load a different set of textures? I've got a lot of heavy textures that I'm randomising and am running into GPU memory issues. If you could clarify the above, I'd be very very grateful indeed

One more question. Not sure you can answer this one. if you were making a collection, and wanted to list the trait rarity or overall rarity per rendered image, is that something that can be included in the metadata? and if so, is there a way to include that in the JSON file? looks like the % was removed from the CSV as well.

[@jayinthefresh]

Hi FZ! Love your videos. Long question for you. Is there a way to use fzrandomizer to create a collection based on existing json data? I’m essentially translating an existing 2D collection into 3D. I have all the 3D assets completed and the json data from the original 2D collection. I’m looking for a tool that can essentially read the original json files and create a collection based on that (instead of random) so I can avoid manually putting together thousands of traits in the blender outline 😅 I’d love to hear you thoughts

[@pushBAK9]

Hey FruitZeus.. is the "rarity" percenage displayed in the panel accurate IF I am using the Rules to "never" other items? So for instance lets say a Jacket is 11% chance BUT a Shoulder Bag where the mesh clips the Jacket uses the "never" rule to make the Jacket cancel.. does that Shoulder Bag's "never" rule inadvertantly affect the 11% somehow? Excuse my basic understanding of math and percentages if this is a dumb question. Thanks. Love this addon!

[@aizenkai3872]

Do you know how I could add display attributes in the metadata? Opensea allows people to have “{ display_type: “boosts” name: xp value: 20}” for example. This creates a visual bar on opensea that looks pretty cool and adds another trait to a collection. Been trying to implement this or batch edit json files to add objects to the attributes section.

Hi! Managed to find the answer to this? I am also searching for ways to add boosts and levels based on individual attributes. For example, a certain accessory would increase stamina by 20%.

I have a small issue with the animated generation and I can't seem to figure out the cause. Let's say I have 10 mp4 variants I want to generate (100 frames animated nfts).
