![]() ![]() "A"- hold the letter A when placing a part to make it asymmetric, any part attached to that part will aslo be asymmetric Tab- Tab gives you extra ring manipulators for whichever part you have selected. Once you're done, be sure to snap the winning shot in Test Drive mode and submit it to our Spore Creature Creator Contest.Alt- Alt makes a duplicate of any part you have selected.Ĭtrl- Ctrl allows you to remove pieces of limbs which is very important for manipulating limbs to their full potential. Have it do the hippity-hop to show its jovial side. Make it angry to give it a ravenous look. Add babies by going to the egg tab in the lower right to score cute points. Fiddle around with the different emotes and options in the Test Drive mode. For example, if you wanted to make a ferocious carnivore but put on a visually pleasing mammalian mouth, you may find the hooting to be counter to your intended design.Įspecially for the purpose of this contest, you'll want to find a good pose and camera position for your creation. So be aware the grunts or squeals that a specific mouth type makes before using it. The devil is in the details, and this last part will be crucial to making a lasting aesthetic impact.Īside from visuals, it's worth noting that your animal will have a distinct sound depending on the mouth you choose. Be sure to pick a texture, too, and there's selections that range from reptile to insect to amphibian. Although you can choose to only have a base coat, giving it stripes, dots, speckles or a different-colored underside will greatly spice up your creature. The base coat as you'd expect is the major color, the background hue for your Spore-ling. Although it's much quicker to choose a complete style, to truly give your animal a one-of-a-kind flavor you'll want to work with the partial styles, which allows you to change the base coat, textures and details. When you've finally got down all the limbs, segments, and mandibles, it's time to paint your creation. You'll see that the hands or legs portion of the limb will disappear, allowing you to create multi-jointed limbs (by duplicating the now hand-less arm), or whatever else your creative heart desires. Choose an arm or a leg, then while holding down CTRL drag out. You'll see a copy of the part appear.Īnother feature which allows for some outlandish monsters is the capability to break limbs apart. Hover over the desired part, then hold down alt and drag the item. The first is duplicating, which saves a lot of time when trying to make a spiny animal. Super-deformed features can help to set your dinosaur apart from another person's handiwork.ĮA's Spore Creature Creator comes with some nifty shortcuts and features that aren't immediately obvious-but will be invaluable as you hone and craft your animal. Experiment with the modifiers to see what works and what doesn't. Don't be afraid to super-size the hands and feet, which gives a more powerful aesthetic impact than "realistic" sized graspers. It's very difficult to make the feet too big, especially with the Pixar-esque visual aesthetic of the Spore Creature Creator. Add the rest (arms, legs, decorations) later on. Pick a mouth to match your torso, and work from there. The more frills you have pasted on to your creature, the harder it is to go back and tweak on the individual torso vertebrae. It's tempting to lay down cool thorns, horns and sensory preceptors in the beginning, but resist the urge and take the time to shape, size and sculpt the body to your satisfaction. But when actually laying down the pieces, the key is to start off with a good foundation-and that foundation is the torso. Still needing some extra tips to get an edge on the competition for the Spore Creature Creator contest? Here are some more advanced techniques to get the Spore specimen you desire.Īs previously mentioned, before laying down the first body part it's important to think of a purpose for the creature, and then match the aesthetics accordingly. After getting the basics down, you've undoubtedly created a monster/insect/simian or two. ![]()
