Post by Dino589 Sat Jun 05, 2010 9:09 am

*banner would be nice. If anyone would be so kind as to make one, send me a PM*

I figured there were enough of these (or soon will be, and that they are of a good enough quality) to merit a thread of their own, and plus I think some sort of log or database of them would be rather convenient (for me especially, and I hope you guys like them all too).

So, I make statues and recreations of various prehistoric fauna in the Spaceship and Vehicle editors. They have basically become my staple design. Each statue is designed to create an accurate depiction of the animals, in a realistic pose and/or with realistic scenery. Each statue usually has a slightly modified and simplified counterpart uploaded onto my Spore profile, while the full statues use Freedom (typically just the removal of a couple non-essential details), so a collection of the small PNGs shall be here as well.

List of Satues So Far:
~Tyrannosaurus vs Triceratops (retired)
~Battling Tylosaurus (retired)
~Roaring Tyrannosaurus
~Allosaurus
~Fishing Therizinosaurus
~Quetzalcoatlus (nearing completion)
~Spinosaurus (nearing completion)
~Deinonychus vs. Tenontosaurus (to be made)
~Dueling Medusaceratops (to be made)

Like the statues but want them to be shared? Then don't worry, you can subscribe to the sporecast for the ship's sharable counterparts here.
Though, it should be noted, all the ships there are trimmed down versions of the ships here, and therefore are forced to have details removed.

(Quetzalcoatlus. Note: Is painted, though this pic was taken before then. Pose is just for show.)

(Spinosaurus. Note: Pose is just for show. Will not have a sharable counterpart.)

Guides:

Building Your Ship
This tutorial follows the construction process. For my purposes, it shall be a dinosaur, but most of the tips in this particular tutorial can be applied to just about anything (real animals, mythical animals, mechs, what have you, though you will likely have to adapt it to suit your needs). Click below to see the full tutorial:

Process from start to finish:

Now that your ship is done, the next step is to paint it. The next tutorial covers such content.

Colouring and Advanced Painting Techniques
This tutorial covers how to paint your ships, along with several neat little tricks that can enhance its appearance. Click below to see full tutorial:

Process from start to finish:

Now that you are done the construction of your ship, the next step is to bring it alive however you choose, which the next tutorial shall cover.

Posing Your Ship and Diorama Elements
This tutorial shall explain tricks and ideas to pose your new creations, as well as some tips for constructing a diorama or scenery objects around it.
Coming Soon

List of Common Parts:
This list is of all the parts I frequently use. You do not necessarily need to use all of them, and sometimes of course I will use other parts as well. And of course, you may find other uses for parts, or parts that suit your uses better.
~Tipped Plug (Body. Good for bodies.)
~The Glowport (Effect. Good for eyes.)
~Portal of Light (Effect. Good for eyes.)
~The Horns (Detail. Good for claws, teeth, ridges and similar fine detailwork.)
~Sillynder (Detail. Good for tails, necks, limbs, digits, being a connector, facial features. Highly versatile and useful.)
~Bicycle Seat (Detail. Good for limbs, heads, jaws.)
~Tear Drop (Detail. Good for filling gaps.)

You rock at these. There are some decent ones in the building editors too, I know Dalton used my exhibit template for one, and I have made a few here and there. Many members of LotP have had a go in the non-creature editors too, so perhaps you could showcase some of their work too.

Being almost alone in this field Dino, you are a true Spore Pioneer, and should anyone ever write a comprehensive history of Spore book, you would deservedly enter the hall of fame.

I agree with Vek,. You really are good at those. Smile

But I suggest you learn to use the Building-editor as soon as possible, cause it offers way more details in creations. (although the objects and buildingblocks there are of less quality then the ones in the vehicle editors.)

I thank you both for the comments.

That is an interesting idea there, Vekky. I had originally intended for this to be a showcase for my set of ships, although that is certainly something to think about.

And that is a suggestion I have received several times, Aieru. Its a great idea, however every single time I have tried the Building Editor, I have come up with results that are far less than satisfactory, to say the least. Its far more tedious, and then the Connectors are a total pain. And, while I have looked at the All About Buildings thread, I haven't found its helped me all that much. Therefore, I have resorted to becoming a pioneer of the spaceship editor and now, the only thing the Building Editor can do which I can't is place objects anywhere in the game zone (while the vehicle editors only yet you do that on a single plane).

That PNG for the new Rex is up btw.

Excelent job.

The first one should be featured, IMO.

It's, I dare say, perfectly made, tells a story and is quite original.

I promise an update shortly...

Also, I have recently been debating constructing a step-by-step guide on how to make creations similar to these. I remain undecided though. What do you guys think of the idea?

Non-Freedom Therizinosaurus is up. This is going to be the model the Freedom version shall use, although the Freedom version will be fully feathered and probably have a different paint scheme too. Only wish I had enough complexity left to add some more feathers to this one, at least several on the back of the head and neck.

Even with a tut, I would fail. It might be better if he listed the parts he used the most.

No, actually. The most complex one was the Therizinosaurus, which was just over the complexity meter. But, once I used asym on it, it fit right in, if only barely; I had complexity enough for just one more part (not enough for the feather crest sadly, so I had to leave it off).

@ Sj: How about I make a tut AND a list of the parts I use most often?

Added a Guides section in the second post. I'll probably expand on the first one where I can right now, though the majority of it will come hopefully tomorrow after I get out of school.

Alrighty, well, if you ever wanted to know how these ships are made or wanted to take a shot at one yourself, the first guide is posted! Go check it out! Smile

Thank goodness this place has spoiler tags. I put most of it in one, since its kinda pic-heavy and lengthy too (though really, its not like you were expecting just a simple paragraph without a single pic, right? Razz ).

Oh, and I updated that List of Parts that was added too.

Got some updates. Though in case you are too lazy to go check out the first two posts, here they are.

Right, update on the Quetzalcoatlus from my previous update: I thought the model was finished, but after putting the paint on it I found I have much work to do. Meaning I'm not going to be uploading it as soon as I want.

On a brighter note, I have not one, but TWO new ships finished: the Allosaurus (revealed in the tutorials) and the Therizinosaurus (previewed a short while back). Both of them have more scenic diorama elements than their predecessors, and they sure aren't going to be the only ones like that. The third and final tutorial, covering the finishing of the Allo, shall be along in a few days. Enjoy. Smile

Well, the Allo has been shared, though you are missing literally nothing if you've downloaded the Freedom version.
