summary: Terraforms are on-chain NFTs featuring land art generated in a 3D world stored on the blockchain.
content: Mathcastles' Terraforms consist of 11,000 on-chain NFTs featuring land art that was dynamically generated within a 3D world existing on the blockchain. The creators of Terraforms, @0x113d of Mathcastles and @xaltgeist, have a goal of launching their highly on-chain artwork in a just and low-key manner. Overview Every individual Terraform has the potential to transform into an on-chain generative mini app paint program. Once a holder chooses to permanently integrate their drawing into the piece, it becomes an on-chain 1/1 artwork. When combined, the complete Terraforms collection creates a massive 3D hypercastle. Unlike social 3D worlds, these Metaverse artworks are permanently stored data and can be visually presented in a variety of ways, subject to interpretation. The licenses permit creative usage of the artworks. !SaasJe_c5O8S0Kl5EesdsE3fgalhC2s1HucmjU9PWL3l-U67s9SQXTMk49NGNojjewfOVVLlkIz_GrHE8TWaX6AvauoGRZYwGq7A8S5nygAT_Bt3ScE8FqmkHy3U8VQGdgggHb3YwhV5.png Terraforms offer various levels of engagement. At its core, each token features animated art rendered on a 32x32 grid of text characters, which is stored in an SVG file. The animated art is drawn on a web browser, utilizing javascript to modify colors and cycle characters from a custom-made font. Aside from being a 2D and 3D artwork, Terraforms also functions as a practical software tool that allows each token to transform into a drawing program capable of overwriting the existing Terrain artwork. The tokens feature three modes: Terrain, which displays the land art animation; Daydream, which enables users to draw on it; and Terraform, which commits the drawing back to the blockchain for others to view. Transitioning from Terrain to Daydream mode is a destructive process that cannot be undone, but a Terraform can be shifted from Daydream to Terraform and vice versa at will. This allows users to overwrite and commit new drawings to the chain. <br
