Different methods to create images — NFT
Motivation
NFT’s are so hot in the market and it is going to get hotter due to the recent activity from different fronts. It is good to ride with the wave. In this article, we will discuss different ways to create NFT images based on the information which I have collected.
Different types of NFT
Non-Fungible-Tokens(NFT) can exist in different forms. It can be audio, video, even your house, anything which is unique can be called minted as an NFT. But in this article, I am going to focus on images. Highlight the different ways to create images and platforms to create it.
Animation
Animation can be a major part of the meta world in virtual reality. Images, characters are created using different platforms and can be minted in NFT platforms.
Some famous platforms are Blender, Unity. However, we are not limited to these platforms, there are different platforms similar to this.
Blender is open-source and we can also Python to mix and create the animations.
AI — GAN’s
If you are not aware Generative Adversarial Networks(GAN’s) is another way to create images. Here we use the power of AI to create different kinds of images, such as faces, art, etc. Anything can be created by sufficient samples and with a ton of computational power(GPUs).
Most of the code in GAN and AI is in Python.
There are different types of GAN’s they are DCGAN, CycleGAN, StyleGAN2/StyleGAN3, FASTGAN, etc. GAN architecture is evolving as we speak. Check out the below articles to understand more about GAN’s.

Photography
The above methods require coding knowledge. If you do not want to get into the above categories, then you can choose this option with your camera and skills.
Mems/innovative pictures are another easy way to create NFT. Can you believe that the “Disaster girl” image sold for $500K? Bring your skills on with innovative pictures!
Generative Art
Generative art is another bigger art category which can be created via code. Here patterns and math calculations are important in generative art. All the symbols and patterns emerge from the coding.
Here most of the code is on Java Script, due to the fact that it can be rendered in the DOM.
Three.js
One of my favorite places for generative art is three.js. Here the art is simply futuristic. You have to see the real beauty by going to the link.
Conclusions
With the rise of NFT, a new type of art pattern emerge in the metaverse world. As each specific category requires expertise in the area, you might need to focus on one category and spend a lot of time fine-tuning your skills.
