Spore creature editor

Ok, uh.... I'm not sure why I'm posting this at 4:30 in the morning, but it made me laugh a little. People are getting pretty creative with the Spore creature editor, and darn it... some evil genius made this disturbing creature. View at your own risk.

Yeah I'm not going to click that, but I'll say some class mates spent some time making all the inappropriate and not so proportionally correct creatures you could imagine. Admittedly it was pretty funny some of the stuff you could get away with.

But I got serious. And now I want to make it my goal to make this guy with some changes here and there, in max. D:

It seems youTube removed it because it violated some terms of use agreement. That's hilarious!!

Hey, that looks awesome, Adromaw. It's inspired me to download the editor now to see what I can tinker up.

I haven't personally ran into problems with the demo either, not only is the creature creating flexible but it seems to be impressively stable for a demo.

I've had countless finished products and beta's alike crash, blue screen and even restart or shutdown my computer. But this thing ran like a charm for me.

Props to maxis on a well polished demo. I'm totally going to save up for this baby. I mean, it's just a demo :D - wow!

How did you get pictures of your creature? I made some snapshots, and sent them to myself via the creature editor, but the links return a 404 error :/

in My Documents there's a folder: "My Spore Creations" Everything is in there, even the creature it self is stored as a .png file, which on another computer can be dragged into the spore creature creators editor to rip your creations and modify them by someone else.

That's the directory to look for the snapshots you made. No need to send them.

I refrained from doing any penis monsters and came up with this thing. I dunno, I'm finding it hard to do anything really creative without it turning into a freak monster. The editing tool is top notch and the process of experimenting is heaps fun though. I'm amazed that creatures still walk and animated pretty convincingly no matter how far experimental you go with your creature

The one of the left is having a Homer moment.
