    I created this tiger fella that just moves AWESOME! If any of you own cats, you can attest to the realism of this animation. The procedural stuff just blows me away, and I do animation professionally! (it's kind of embarrassing actually, to do something equally good, I'd have to work for hours on it...)

    Don't get too discouraged. While it may take you hours to do this, it has taken an army of programmers (led by one of the most talented visionary developers ever) years of perfecting algorithms to make this possible. Now all we need is for the rest of you animation geniuses to take what they've done here (and NaturalMotion's Euphoria) and push the animation and user interactivity of future games into this brave new world D::winky:

    The EA Store site. It's not the actual order I'm waiting on, it's the account creation that I started within the editor. Which is required to order. :\

    For those of you who don't want to pay ten dollars, let's not forget that our friends in India use rupees. And rupees have a favorable exchange rate.

    It's ~$4.60 in American dollerydoos, and I was able to play immediately after download.

    Poo, I missed it, ordered but now it won't let me download, shows "0kb of 0kb" and "Releasing in 0 days, 14 hours"

    Is there a way to get arms to face backwards. I can contort them so they LOOK backwards, but they animate as if they are supposed to be facing forward.

    I quit the game, moved the creatures out of the My Spore Creations folder, started the game, exited back out, and moved the creatures back in. They showed up in the "Everything" list and I had to edit them to get them back under my stuff. After that it hasn't happened again. I think I had to delete some duplicates but it wasn't to complicated.

    Is there a way to manipulate the shape of the initial blob that you get? Randomly generating a reasonably suitable shape is fun and all, but I want more control over the abominations I spawn.

    Yes indeed... grab the spine, wave it around, mouse wheel to make the body bigger/smaller, arrows on the end to extend the spine.

    I didn't know it was possible to be interested in Spore at this point without knowing just how much you can bend and extend and inflate the creatures' bodies and bodyparts.

    I'm a bit surprised someone could even know about Spore without having seen it done. I mean really now, who hasn't?

    OP needs to update that there is a temp fix for the sporepedia bug, and it's by moving the files out of the folder, putting them back in, and editing & saving the creature (as it's been moved to Everything instead of your creatures).

    I had a glitch happen when I created this creature so some his limbs are at different heights. It's kind of neat

    500000392689.png

    And Sporepedia won't accept this creature for some reason. It says ""Plungerfrog" was not successfully shared" How dare they deny Plungerfrog?!

    The trial version of the CC has only 8 mouths, falling under two categories: dino-like predators and bugs.

    I reserved a copy at my local GameStop. Tomorrow after picking it up I'm going to go through my creatures and replace parts with the full version's quadruple-sized catalog.
