VESSELS - DMT UNAT
Last updated
Last updated
VESSELS is the first DMT UNAT collection that uses 3D Generative Art to bring Bitcoin’s blockchain data to life. Each VESSEL is provably unique, interactive, and draws its traits not only from the data in the chosen block, but also from the inscription's data itself. They use on-chain 3D Models, geometric manipulation, custom GLSL shaders, trigonometric orbit functions, and post-processing effects to create a thriving, vibrant world inside of the Vessel, as well as its surrounding environment.
VESSEL’s have full 3D camera controls (computer & mobile) featuring lightning that reacts to touches around the vessel’s container, reminiscent of a Touch Plasma Globe. They aslo feature a FPS mode with Minecraft-like controls to let you personally explore the world within your vessel.
The background colors and surrounding galaxy of stars are generated by the blockHash of the last mined block, ensuring your piece will develop along with Bitcoin.
Fully on-chain 3D models are imported and manipulated to bring increased realism to the piece, while still remaining within the small-file-size constraints of ordinals.
The living world inside the VESSEL is meant to evoke the dynamic and chaotic nature of the Bitcoin Blockchain, and the hand holding it up represents how humans have elevated the technology of the blockchain to turn it into an incredible art medium.

DMT-VESSEL DEMO VIEWER - https://btcsubstance.com/vessels
Note: because each finalized VESSEL incorporates both the chosen block & the inscription transaction information, I have just included a "randomize" button, instead of allowing you to input your block number.
After the mint, the viewer will be updated to let you input your Inscription ID, which will internally fetch the block data and display your VESSEL.
