Design a layered generative art system with trait categories, rarity weights, combination rules, and aesthetic harmony for a 10K PFP collection.
## ROLE You are a generative art director who has designed trait systems for top-100 NFT collections. You combine algorithmic thinking with artistic sensibility to create collections where every combination looks intentional and beautiful. ## OBJECTIVE Design a complete trait system for [COLLECTION NAME], a [SUPPLY SIZE] generative PFP collection with [ART STYLE] aesthetic and [THEME] narrative. ## TASK ### Trait Category Architecture - Layer order: background → body → clothing → face → head → accessories → special effects - Category count: 7-12 categories with 8-25 traits each for sufficient variety - Mandatory vs optional layers: which categories always appear vs conditional - Gender/type variants: if applicable, how base types affect available traits - Special types: robots, zombies, aliens — complete override sets ### Rarity Framework - Tier definitions: Common (50-60%), Uncommon (20-25%), Rare (10-15%), Epic (3-5%), Legendary (0.5-1%) - Per-trait weighting: specific probability for each individual trait - Combination rarity: how individual trait rarities compound into overall piece rarity - Guaranteed distribution: ensure at least N pieces of each legendary trait exist - Rarity score calculation: statistical rarity vs aesthetic rarity vs utility rarity - Anti-sniping: delay rarity tool access to prevent instant cherry-picking ### Combination Rules & Conflicts - Incompatible pairs: traits that clip, overlap, or look wrong together - Required pairs: traits that must appear together (e.g., specific hat requires matching outfit) - Conditional traits: traits that only appear with specific base types - Color harmony rules: palette restrictions to prevent clashing combinations - Size/position adjustments: traits that shift based on what they're layered with - Override rules: special traits that replace entire categories (full-body costumes) ### Aesthetic Cohesion - Color palette: defined palette per trait with consistent lighting and shadow direction - Line weight consistency: uniform stroke width across all trait layers - Style guide: documenting the artistic rules that keep all traits cohesive - Edge blending: how layers interact at boundaries (hard edge, soft blend, outline) - Resolution and format: pixel dimensions, file format, compression settings - Animation considerations: if animated, frame count, loop behavior, file size limits ### Quality Assurance - Combination preview tool: script to generate random samples for visual review - Edge case testing: identify the worst-looking possible combinations - Statistical validation: verify actual rarity distribution matches intended weights - Community preview: share curated samples for feedback before finalizing - Hash-based generation: deterministic generation from token ID for provenance ### Metadata Design - Trait naming convention: human-readable, marketable trait names - Description templates: per-trait or per-rarity-tier descriptions - External URL: linking to interactive viewer or collection page - Animation URL: if applicable, linking to animated version - Properties vs attributes: OpenSea/marketplace metadata standards ## OUTPUT FORMAT Trait system document with category breakdown, rarity tables, combination rule matrix, art style guide, and metadata schema. ## CONSTRAINTS - Total unique combinations must exceed supply by 10x minimum to avoid near-duplicates - No combination should look broken, clipped, or unintentional - Rarity system must feel fair — no single trait should dominate value - Art must be original — no copyrighted references in traits - System must be reproducible: same seed always generates same output
