So now we’ll be able to have one of the balls hang lower?

In all fairness, it is a good patch. It probably should have been in from the start, but!

@Devan I believe it was due to the animation, I dont know but am guessing that the animation in those hacks was glitched in certain cases.

I can see this would be good for anything that requires creatures or monsters of any kind. You could mock up a creature in less time that it would take to do in any other software and have it all ready to use straight away, and in whatever you want.

One thing I was hoping for the most is the ability to make auto-trading ships in space mode. The Anno system of trade routes/ships is pretty much ideal.

That said, once you start running into that sort of level of sophistication needed the game does start to get a bit monotonous, exploring keeps turning up the same stuff.

The smaller claw does looks pretty grotesque. I think Kikaider started my dislike, with his/it’s weird head which I found weird. Even looking at it now bugs me.

I like creativity more though so I can get over this, but I don’t have Spore installed at the moment and have no idea where I stashed the game. Woe is me.

Heh, I remember seeing workarounds to the bi-symmetry constraint right from launch. Since the engine was clearly capable of it from the beginning, it’s strange that it’s taken them this long to add a proper way to do it.

Still, the collada export sure is cool. I’m not sure what it would be good for, but it’s cool.

Goodness, I hate asymmetrical things. I don’t know how I feel about this. I guess, I’ll just deal with it. *sigh*

Thats good news this should make my attempts to learn modeling a bit easier.

I’ve managed to get it to work in Daz studio, sadly the mesh and skeleton arent applied to one another(so you cant animate it). Even so its still really good.

I stick by my feeling that the creature creator aspect of Spore was far better than the game itself :)
