Post your creatures here

Space also pollinates with Civ-dressed creatures at Space level, so that does still 'work' for adding new races to encounter.

So I would have to make/download Civ. creatures to get new Space races? I thought it was odd that all of the Civ. creatures were my own race or is that normal? *has not played enough to check*

[edit: fixed 1am brain fart]

[Faizah]

Yes, all other Civ cities in Civ stage are your own race. Space stage pollinates the space-faring neighbours from random Civ and Space level races. (Plus other levels, on worlds that you can drop a monolith onto, but I've never had a monolithed race evolve with clothes...)

[Zazazu]

Nice tidbit: you can subfolder your creatures folder (and the others) and still have them all show. It was starting to get hard to ID my stuff.

Have we determined a way to share our creatures without sharing our personal info?

[rohina]

I believe the answer to that is not to name your computer your real name. Which Pescado says is a bad idea anyway.

[kutto]

My computer is not named my real name, but my XP account is named my real name, which is what Spore seems to be using.

[Zazazu]

Use an alternate account? I believe one solution is to take your creation .pngs from the account you don't want the name of public, load up the game in an alternate anonymous account, make some miniscule change and save. It should now be under your name. Hence all the recolored EAxis items in the Sporepedia under member names.

[J. M. Pescado]

You should never store your real name anywhere on your computer, period.

I made a tripod race for Space.









The vehicles are still problematic. I'm working on them.

[jsalemi]

Ooo, I like the tripods -- kinda like the Martians from War of the Worlds.

yoink!

[Gus Smedstad]

I like those too, though my first thought was the Tripods series by John Christopher (The White Mountains / The City of Gold and Lead / The Pool of Fire).

Vehicles should be doable.  There are leg pieces.

I made a very basic creature the other day, mainly because I'd just discovered this technique. I call it Boxo, and it has three versions: Creature, Civ and Space.



I can't take all the credit for that though, I stumbled across the tip in my browsing. (I think it was a 1950s style robot on the Sporepedia, would've been either in the featured or the most popular list.) Feel free to dissect the creature to see what I did there.

[Solowren]

Aww, it's cute. YOINK!

[snazza]

Cool tripod.

That first boxo reminds me of a sims2 trash compacter :p

[Zazazu]

Has anyone seen any good creature creator tutorials? Everything I've seen does the basics. I've figured out a few things myself (scaling items that don't seem to be scalable and using TAB to access more tilt controls) but there are lots of things I see that I can't figure out.

[Gus Smedstad]

I've seen a couple for asymmetric parts, but they're flakey.  Even when you manage it, it's very difficult to manipulate the parts, because if you select the part it reverts to normal.  Since I almost always have to tweak a part after I place it, I don't find it very useful.

[Faizah]

I'd be interested in a good tutorial or three myself, so far I've been 'learning' by taking things apart, which has taught me new places to hide stuff. Then there was that tip at the start of the vehicle thread here, building an inner skeleton to make the parts 'sink' slightly. (Which I later used on my Starbug, posted in the same thread.)

Also, that that one diamond-shaped +health part (I am terrible with names...) makes good boxes, if you flip it around.

But mainly I've been taking things apart and seeing if I can put them back together. I love that I can do that, I have to say. Have a bit of a tinker, see what they did there, educational and fun.

[Zazazu]

Most of the spit things make good noses when flipped around, plus of course give you the ability. I don't like the looks of them top-up. My current killer on Hard has one as his nose, keeping him looking thoroughly like a barely-evolved cellular creature.

Ugh.. I accidentally wiped out my creations folder. Forgot all about when reinstall due to CRAPPATCH.  I have searched and cannot get the url right to Pescado's critters.. would someone kindly post the link ? I know Im a huge moron. * lays down for the sporking ,stomping, harpooning* I won't even fight it.  The game just isn't right without your very own Duckie or Buttolino in your corral.

Or kewains, who turned out to be Spodeists one of my games.

[kewian]

Thank you.. Spode evil or Spode light?  Kill me .. kill all of me.. augh.

[jsalemi]

Spode neutral right now, though if they get it into their minds to attack one of my planets or allies, they'll be Spode extra-crispy soon enough.

I added about 6 MATY creatures in, they were everywhere, like the game was only using those. The saddest part was the tribal stage I played last night. About 4 of the other five tribes were Assmittens. Two of them hated me. I couldn't deal with the angst, so I took the creatures all out and restarted the level.

[Zazazu]

Oh, this reminds me...my current two races that are getting in position to work on the Grox (though I'm now thinking I might want more than two races in the pincer attack):

Orine


Salmine


And others, which were designed to be not too tough of a challenge if you happen to need to social/kill them:

Rabboo

(I was going for a semi-evolved look)

Domondy

(his belly is actually the top of his leg)

Some civ/space versions are available in my sig.
