    Disclaimer - I have not studied anatomy, this is all based on my own observations and impressions I've developed overtime by simply drawing and sculpting. I want to emphasize that your creature should only *seem* functional, as it's a subtle feature that adds a lot to your creatures' overall appearance and character. *This is the only "strict" rule I have for creating - Everything else should be relaxed, enjoyable and down to personal interpretation and preferences :)*

    Great tips, the majority could be applied to actual 3D modelling too.
    I'mma make something that goes against everything you said just to see how bad of a creation I can make.

    I used to play Spore when I was a kid when it first came out. Now, in 2021 and at 23 years old, I've picked it back up again and I'm still loving it. I've always felt the same as you regarding wanting creatures to look realistic, and like they could actually be something that survives and thrives, as opposed to just 'haha eight legs and four wings!!!!'. Seeing one of those in the creature stage can kill my immersion! But I've never had the ability / knowledge on how to realise those wants in the creator. Stumbling across your videos has helped hugely; great job!

    I made scrawny creations in my first days of playing Spore, back then I made a lot of skinny creations that I thought were 'sleek', nearly all of my early creations had no muscle/fat on them. This is a very good tip! And when I heard the banging in the background I thought "There's a ghost in your house!"

    • @DarkEdgeTV
      @DarkEdgeTV  6 років тому +1

      I did the same, my creatures were typically very skinny because at first, I didn't know you could change the size :P And then soon after that, I was trying to go for the sleek designs, too! And sorry about the banging!

      When I first started spore, my creatures were the complete opposite. I thought "oh the bigger the arms the stronger!" And always gave my creatures bulky limbs.

  • @vulturesalesman
    @vulturesalesman 6 років тому +4

    The hilarious part is, I made a creature that I intentionally made to appear as if they have no muscle, fat, or organs, as in the story they have almost everything eaten out by another creature that is in turn rather bloated and slow, with only their bones and skin really remaining. Although watching this I feel as if fixing them up is a must, as they easily look like their head could weigh them down.
    Very informative and useful video, I think that it can help those who use Spore a great deal with creating creatures.

  • @lacimazug1169
    @lacimazug1169 6 років тому +4

    I always loved how you design the mass and muscle structure of your creations.
    I have only realized how amazing a good proportioned creature can look since I watched your videos.
    I tried to replicate the same feel, with my own creations, but I never really succeeded in my opinion.
    Maybe this video will help.

    I wish old games became bad over time so Spore wouldn't be on the back of my mind asking for my attention and time. I feel like this guide is one of the most important one... from the 2 so far. xD Love it, keep it up.

    Hey DarkEdge remember me? It’s been a while since I last seen your videos and in your Demi-dog (from stranger things) I saw Gomora in one of your votes and thank you for noticing it and yes I’ve been patient for a long time heck I even have forgot about it but for the most part I can tell that you have a lot of work and it’s okay that you don’t have to do a Gomora video besides I can tell that people aren’t interested of you making it. I’m glad what I told you in that one time in Thanksgiving where you made the turkey monster and I still love you and your channel and I also hope that you never give up, continuing making yours and our greatest imagination I wish you best of luck and remember to never stop making these beautiful, creative, and awesome videos. I’m so glad I subscribed your channel.

    oh, the gravity thing I think I forgot when creating my game's Nightmares using Spore, I might have to do some redesigns again, but then again, it's a horror game, does gravity still apply for fleshy monsters that are disturbing in a horror game?

    1:38 Why not? This is spore! Why is it better to not explore exotic gravity?
    4:38 Nah, it looks neat! The skinniness feels like it's part of its sharm. The "Reborn" horned raptor has an entirely different charm.
    14:08 I think that's an unfair criticism to people who prefer science-based spore creatures. I don't imagine I'd say that a creature is scientifically inaccurate in spore simply because it could/would not evolve ON EARTH.
