¿Por qué no? ¿Ellos no hablan inglés es nuestro foro? xD

HOLY SHIP!!! Amazing. Just amazing.

Another SporeModder feature, .rast to .dds . This with the before one allowed me to make the first Spore vehicle render ever:

It's...BEAUTIFUL...

Also works on plants (they have 6 texutres WTF?) and cells:

So these plant pieces can be extracted, detached, and then re-attached as parts in the flora editor I'm working a little bit with rob to fix? (He resumed the project, I'm just checking up mainly and doing a few suggestions now.)

Oh and btw once this is done, you've got to promise me that we'll show these breakthroughs to maxis in an email XD

That's exactly what I've been doing via 3D Ripper DX, but this will likely yield results far superior in quality.

Added multi-meshing and variable vertex size support to the RW4 Importer. So now, (without importing animations), we can open the 90% of the Spore models without crashes!!
This allowed me to see how building/vehicle parts work, more or less: is divided in multiple meshes, and each one is painted of one color.

[Botifier]

will you release a beta soon?

[emd]

No beta releases, but I'll try to have the final program before 2015 xD

[GIRGHGH]

That's awesome!

These are the things that I have to add to the RW4 Importer:
- Material and textures support
- Skeleton support
- Animations support
- Handles support

To do those things, first I'll have to create a RW4 Exporter, to experiment directly with Spore. Well, I've started with the exporter. But actually it only creates a single model like SporeMaster, so it's as useful as Sporemaster....
WITH THE DIFFERENCE that this Exporter allows custom textures --> custom textures in Build Mode (haven't tested it in another environment):


It looks bad because I was using an Spore part texture with a default cube uv.

- Created a Texture Patcher, that allows you to override any texture of any rw4/raster of the game:

If I said I love you right now, that would be the biggest understatement I've ever typed. Also, is it possible to make textures simply transparent squares, to create effects such as leafless trees in the Creature Creator arena?

[emd]

Those trees you see in the images are planes with transparency, so if you mean that, yes.

Can't wait for this, once It comes out I'll probably release a new version of dark genetics with way more parts.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Testing with building/vehicle parts (still has some bugs):

[emd]

Building parts still have some bugs (probably we'll have to search more about their UVs), but meanwhile another feature is here:

- Added "in-game" model support to the RW4 Exporter, with normal map support too. This allows you, for example, to add new objects to adventures!:
