world , Triumph turned to Verified Labs to help deliver the collection of digital art . At their recommendation , the final set will be a set of 1,000 unique generative , interactive , and fully 3D 360-degree NFT ’ s , the first of its kind ever released on the ThetaDrop platform . To bring the innovative concept to life Web3 animation studio , Immersive Enterprise Laboratories ( IEL ), first designed a fully threedimensional virtual garage where owners will discover a Triumph Bonneville T100 motorcycle , rider , and digital recreation of the original Kalish portrait of Steve McQueen . IEL used Unreal Engine to build the garage and each of the elements within , making the collection truly 3D from 360 degrees , which can be viewed within virtual reality headsets or showcased in spatial reality displays via a FBX file . To make the collectables interactive , IEL produced an animation which can be triggered by the NFT ’ s owner . Upon interacting with the T100 sitting on a pool of paint in the centre of the garage , the bike ’ s rider starts the engine , puts the motorcycle in gear , and begins to do a burnout , which sprays paint against the wall of the garage which reveals a portrait of Steve McQueen just like the real-life Kalish original as the paint drips off the wall . To make each of the 1000 unique , IEL used a generative process to assign colour variations on a handful of elements within the garage , making no two NFTs the collection the same . Elements that change range from the bike paint scheme or a splatter effect on it , to the colour of the rider ’ s Triumph Bradden Air Jacket and colour of the McQueen portrait . The combinations of colour variants make certain NFTs from the collection more or less rare , depending on how many in the collection share attributes for each of the elements . An important consideration of the project was for the collection was both accessible to interested enthusiasts , and that each of the collectables also presented value for its owner . To support the long-term value proposition , the collection will be limited to only 1000 unique versions of the NFT . Also , to incentivise trading of the collectable , which supports an increase in value for owners , there will be a trio of challenges with high-value prizes attached to each challenge . For only the most enthusiastic fan , there will be the rare version of the “ King of Cool Racing Team ” collectables paired with the actual 2022 Triumph Bonneville T100 with original splatter paint design which was ridden by Chase McQueen to create the original large format Michael Kalish portrait of Steve McQueen available for auction . The “ most rare ” version of the digital collectible in fact brings the set to a total of 1001 unique NFTs and will be the only one in the set with the motorcycle in black with the splatter paint design which matches the real-world motorcycle . This rare version also features the exact reproduction of the original Kalish portrait . This ultimate collectable combination will be auctioned for a two-week period on ThetaDrop . The starting bid for this priceless one-of-one Michael Kalish-painted motorcycle ridden by Chase McQueen paired with the rare “ King of Cool Racing Team ” will be $ 15,000 USD . The pair will be awarded to the highest bidder of the virtual open auction at the end of the two-week period .
