![]() I haven't had a chance to give this a really lengthy go-round, but from what I have played so far, it's intuitive, easy, and fun. Maxis studio and Z Corporation today announced that fans of Spore can now transplant their unique creatures into the real world as Spore Sculptures through Z Corporation's 3D printing technology.After having read about countless people playing with the Spore Creature Creator (and watching the number of creatures added to the online database jump by the thousands with each page refresh), I finally got a chance to try it out myself. The limitless gameplay Spore offers come in the form of trying new creations. "At its heart, Spore is a tool for creativity. What stands out most in this title is the fact that it covers all sorts of genres. There is no fixed style when it comes to playing Spore. You start as a cell, from there you can choose to be a herbivore, omnivore, or carnivore. Since launch, fans have made more than 40 million Spore creatures, vehicles and buildings," said Patrick Buechner, Vice President of Marketing at Maxis. ![]() The flexibility of the in-game creation tools allows an almost limitless variety of Spore Sculptures." "We wanted to give players a way to extend their in-game creativity to the real world. Z Corporation's high-definition multicolor 3D-printing is the technology that enables the conversion of players' one-of-a-kind creatures into figurines that can be proudly displayed to friends and family. Spore Sculptures are the latest incarnation of ZPrints, full-color physical objects produced from 3D data much as a traditional office printer creates a document from text. Other games, however, allow the development and customization of a character which is unique to each player. "A ZPrinted Spore Sculpture will immortalize a Spore creature at any given time, or several selected times to document its evolution," said John M. "There's a staggeringly large universe of 40 million potential creations that can cross into the physical world." In many cases, characters are created seperately from the game, usually in a 'character editor' that pops up before the beginning of the game proper. To create a Spore Sculpture, players design their creature using the Spore Creature Creator with hundreds of flexible drag-and-drop body parts and a virtually infinite number of possible configurations. Players can then digitally paint their creatures with unique patterns. Once the creatures are complete, players upload their digital creations to and place their order. The ZPrinted models (up to 4 inches tall) will be shipped directly to consumers. Released in September, Spore is a game that lets people tap their inner creativity and build their own personal universe, evolving life from a single-cell organism to a galactic god over hundreds of millions of years. Gamers design a species and guide it to sentience, then help it build a society, develop its culture, and ultimately explore an infinite cosmos of worlds created by other players. Spore Sculptures will retail for $49.50 USD.By registering for the free MashON Spore E-Card Creator at, fans can bring Spore creatures to life by combining Spore backgrounds, clip art and word bubbles using unique digital assets.
