Wide open universe: Spore patch lets you export creatures to Maya

sporemaya.jpg

More interesting developments from the Spore camp, as art director Ocean Quigley notes that the game's most recent patch allows you to export any of your creatures to 3D modeling package Maya (or any Collada-supporting suite) to do with them as you will.

Adds Quigley: "The exported creations include normal, diffuse and specular maps, and are fully rigged and weighted, so you can pose them too," and hints that building and vehicle support should be coming soon.

Full step by step directions are available in a separate post on Quigley's blog. Let us know if you create anything wonderful!

Um, is that one creature we're looking at, or is this an especially example of "to do with them as you will"?

(I've always thought that what SPORE needed to succeed is a interspecial brothel module.)

More evidence that it's a character creation engine and not a game.

It sounds like a gucci men shoes bit of a harsher version of Tree Wave and came out Gucci handbags sometime around 2000 I think.
