Slashes

You can now upgrade your Slashes tokens to v2 as part of Shapes2048.

The idea behind Shapes2048 is to create a meta collection: a single smart contract using multiple generative art generators, and to allow owners to change their tokens by hunting for new seeds or change to another shape like SlashesV2/Arcs/… against a 0.01ETH fee (all previous states are kept in metadata of the token), or also lock the token in a final form.

There is absolutely no obligation to upgrade your SLASHES tokens, if you love them this way keep them ♥️
But if you want to join this new series, get brand new tokens with new visuals, hunt for gems and participate in shaping this project, upgrade your SLASHES 🚀

UPGRADE NOW

The Slashes series proposes an abstract vision of the paths we take and the people we encounter throughout our lives. Each piece is a unique path we take, and each path we take is a unique piece.

This work is the result of a collaboration between makio135, generative artist, and clemsos, researcher.

Each token is the deterministic result of our custom Solidity smart-contract, allowing the generation on on-chain using the Ethereum Virtual Machine: the smart-contract is used as a medium to output SVGs.

Due to the limitations of the Solidity language (Floats inexisting, Strings manipulation, gas), many tricks have been developed to generate clean and unique SVGs efficiently, like abusing the <use> SVG element to limit computations and reuse shapes to draw them again with transformations, recreating a PRNG algorithm seeded by the token ID to get a nice diversity in the generated outputs and using a Solidity pure view function that takes a token ID as parameter and computes the result directly in-chain to reduce gas fees.

You can visit the OpenSea marketplace to purchase the Slashes tokens.

Features

Each token is the combination of 11 features that determine the visual aspects of the piece:

Palette ID: The color palette used to generate the piece.
Background Opacity: Wider slashes in the background are drawn with an opacity of 0.2 to 0.8.
Gradients / 1000: The probability of drawing a gradient filled slash out of 1000. The gradient is drawn with a random color from the palette.
X Direction Force: Variation of slashes direction along the horizontal axis.
Y Direction Force: Variation of slashes direction along the vertical axis.
Wider Shapes / 1000: The probability of slashes with a large stroke width.
Complexity Level: The amount of slashes to be drawn.
Shape Type: The type of the central shape, can be either Rectangle, Circle or Diamond.
Shape StrokeWidth: The thickness of the center shape stroke, can be 10, 20, 40, 80 or 160.
Shape Filled: A boolean value defining if the central shape is filled.
Scales: Slashes are drawn twice on the foreground using a 180° rotation and different scales. The "1 | 1,-1" value defines a vertical symmetry.
