I could lend a hand in 3D modeling :oops: . I'm not used to organic modeling, because props and weapons are my main field, but it's really worth a shot :) . I could also give morfos some insight into 3D modeling, as I can speak spanish too :P . I'd be really glad if zymoox could help with the the textures, too :roll: .

We'd be glad to receive your help, those models look really cool! Don't worry for organic modelling, because we also need props and, maybe in a future, weapons. In fact, we actually have lots of creature concept parts, but almost no concepts nor models for building parts and props.

I could also help with vehicle and building part concepts, because I'm kinda decent at technical drawing and stuff.

I'll help you with the textures, of course.

I've been working on the cell stage. The cell stage is too "cute", so in order to improve it, I made the concept art of some more serious parts.
Cell Eyes Concept Art
Cell Eyes Concept Art
I'll use a default model of an eye, and change its texture. The problem is to find such model in the game data, and manage to add it as a new part in-game, as I don't know how to make that.

Those look really cool! We don't have any eyes, so it will be interesting to add.
However, I think we cannot make unlockable parts for cell stage, so they will have to be in the creature editor :/

About the models, tell me the eye you want to base on and I'll send you the model and textures it uses.

So there is no way to put parts in the cell editor. Well, then, unfortunately, the cell stage will keep its cuteness.
I've been looking up which creature eyes fit best with my concept art eyes. I though that the two cellular eyes would be nice with "Seeodesic" eye; the one with strings/filaments, with "Felizard"; and the one with some sort of veins (name in image is "???"), with "Occulus". If you think any of them would fit better with another eye, please tell me.
PD.: The name of the eyes might be written incorrectly, as my Spore is in Spanish, and I found the English names in a poor quality image. Sorry for that.

Here you have: http://www.mediafire.com/download/3a3by ... e_Eyes.rar
I've included all the textures used, both in .dds and .png formats. I don't really know how specBump textures work. For tintMasks, red channel is the base color, green channel is the coat color and blue channel is the detail color.
Also, I couldn't get the Seeodesic model, I'll try again later.

Check your PMs for another task. I've been looking for someone to do this since FOREVER, after failing to do it myself...I suck at texturing :lol:

I have some new part models. The first is mouth model with texture it is rigged and has a closing animation. I would love to see them added and think that you mod is amazing.

Edit
I think the part should be:
a herbivore mouth
a 75 cost part
add bite level 1
sing level 2
pose level 1 from the top like a whale's blowhole.

Whale Mouth.zip
Contains model and texture.

Extremely late to the party, but I felt it would be a good time to give my opinions on the demo.

Image

I'm happy that my Boomerang head part made it into the first release, and I believe that the building and creature parts function very well (aside from a few not having textures, which is probably something that will be fixed in the future).

My only real problem lies within the adventure editor, and it is a very minor issue. A few of the pages on the 'terraform' panel are duplicated, like the terrain color, flora, and weather panels having two pages (the second ones being nonfunctional) and the planet theme and terra-build pages all having duplicates. Aside from the bugs mentioned beforehand, this is a very solid look into what is to come in due time. I like it.

Also, I'm working on a bunch of parts in Blender. Stay tuned 8-)

Woops, missed this >.<

I'll take a look now.

Please don't use the Spore Resurrection smiley to refer to Spore Resurrection: Next Steps. We have our own smiley, which is awaiting approval or addition as an actual smiley (Image), but in the meantime, it can be displayed like this:

Moving on, the texture issue should be addressed in a future released. I am aware of the terraform page issue, and I've yet to figure out how to fix it.

Can't wait to see those parts ^-^

____________________________________________


We greatly appreciate how patient you've all been. We know, it's been a ridiculously long amount of time already, but we're trying to put out a really solid release. This involves a lot of attention to everything. We were scrambling to get SRNS done, and thus had to re-release it several times due to bugs we'd missed. We're doing everything we can to ensure SRNS won't have the same kinds of problems. I'm not implying we're in the final bug-squashing stages or anything, far from it at that ( D: ), but it's easier to just build a mod well from the start, then to fix everything after-the-fact.

Fixed the main post.

I'm glad to see that you're working to fix most of the bugs/issues with the current release for the next. It gives me a good feeling that, whenever this bad-boy comes out, it's going to be one of the best ever made.

Also, regarding the thing from the thread on the Sporum, well :P

It is satisfying to see that the mod is still alive. I thought this was dead after not seeing any reply in a week, but it looks this is normal and more things are being developed in the background.
I can't wait to see what's next :)

PD.: If anyone needs anything related to texturing, just ask me, I'm always available.

Sorry for not replying, I guess I missed that D:

Yeah, stuff is still happening...hopefully we'll have something to show for it soon :3
