Note: These are previews of how I create, and are meant only to give inspiration, ideas, and a few lessons/techniques. Please do not just go about and create the exact same thing. I've done these entirely to help people, NOT to teach them how to create like me. -------------------------

>> Creatures - EA Creature Creator Tutorial 1 - EA Creature Creator Tutorial 2 - EA Creature Creator Tutorial 3
How do you make your videos? - I record with a [free downloadable] programme called "Camstudio", and edit it all in "Windows Movie Maker", which comes free with most computers.
How do you include the menus? - I record full-screen using "Camstudio".
What music do you use? - Depends on the video. Most bands include System of a Down, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Buckethead, Wednesday 13, Disturbed, and many more. If you want specifics, find the video and ask.
How do you attatch/detatch limbs? - Hold the limb, hold Ctrl and drag them apart or together.
How do you make copies of parts or limbs? - Hold Alt, click on a part and drag it, creating a copy.
What settings do you use to get your picture quality? - High-Quality graphics card; All settings are High, while 'Texture Detail' is Medium. Movie Size is 320x240, and Picture Size is Medium.
What games/expansions do you use? - I use a fully-updated copy of Galactic Adventures, plus Robot Parts, but most of these (creatures) can be done in Creature Creator, or an unpatched copy of Spore. Exo-Skeleton limbs (patch 3) would be useful for some creatures, though.

Those are some great tips. Very well made videos... and that freecam cheat could come in handy.
After all this time, nothing's changed. Everyone in this "community" is in it for themselves. Maybe there's some exceptions to that rule. Maybe you're the exception to the rule. But if you're honest with yourself, you'll probably realize that you're not. Those who give comments only give them in hopes of getting those comments returned and becoming famous someday. The haters stay because they aren't willing to let that one time go. Maxis isn't around because they're doing something else, trying to get money on some spore spin-off. There's nothing but filth and despair as far as the eye can see. You call this vortex of greed and anger a community? Ha. That would be funny, if it weren't so sad. So I don't want to be here. There's a saying I'm well aware of around here... "ragequit, return as alt". Honestly, I don't see myself doing that anytime soon either. But if it makes you happy, you can believe that I'm still here. But I won't be. Because I know for a fact that there are better places to be. So toodles. Enjoy your wasteland. I don't like it, it smells too bad for my sensitive nose.
TL; DR: Lol Ragequit.
This ragequit note needs to be longer and contain more caps lock.

What? Really?
I'm not gonna get into details with it. And you may expect something to pop up on my birthday. But, hey. I'll always be creating for YouTube and DeviantArt.

You're too good to stop sharing. :'(

Well, it's great to see you still involved in the community. I see my fanclub has died (obviously) after a good run, and even after I leave for several months, I still have hundreds of comments to approve.
Any promising new sporeans that I should check out before I leave forever (again)?

Hundreds? Wow, lucky you. Haven't approved my comments since... Sunday, I think, and I only have about 200
As for new creators... Unless they were around when you were, CopperLou, Shibby1313, Antarcticas, 19Oblivion91, AnUBISELEAsS... Can't name a lot, and some may be older than I think
Sad about your fanclub. Then again, none of you were around, so we couldn't keep it going D: Wish it still was. And JAG.
Great job with the videos, overall, it's a nice presentation. Some voiceovers for the sake of explanation would help, though. And just a bit less blasting music.

I've given up with sharing creations, but it doesn't mean I can't make videos to help a few people... does it?
What? Really?
