Hi, I’m [Chad](https://thebigpugh.com), creator of [GAWDS](https://www.gawds.xyz), a 10k generative NFT project based on my artwork and given life with the help of [CPU](https://twitter.com/caseypugh) , [di0xgenes](https://twitter.com/di0xgenes) and [Jamiew](https://twitter.com/jamiew). It’s one of the first lightfield-rendered cryptoart projects – a hologram on the blockchain. Today we’re announcing the official launch date of **October 1st** - details below.

Each Gawd is generated from 148 hand-drawn parts, procedural animations and custom shaders using Unity. In addition to high-res images, 4K videos, and GIFs, each one is also rendered as an 8K holographic quilt for the new [Looking Glass Portrait](https://lookingglassfactory.com/portrait) personal holographic display – the ideal way to [showcase](https://twitter.com/cryptogawds/status/1429093049339101194?s=20) a transcendent being from another dimension.

In celebration of this announcement, we are doing a half price pre order of 200 Gawds via the embedded NFT below! By acquiring this token, you are assured a random GAWD airdropped to the retaining wallet on or near the launch date.
