Awesome banners made by Warboss92. Thanks a bunch!!

[b][color=red]There's a page lag once you get to a new page. I think it lasts for about 3 posts. If that happens you have to click on the name in the [u]Last Message[/u] column (on the right side of the Creator Corner forum). This goes to the person's forum profile. Then go to "[###] messages posted by _____". Find the post that you want which would be [u]All About Buildings[/u], click on "Go to message". And you're here! [/color][/b]

[size=17][b]I've also added this thread to [u][url=http://eurospore.forumotion.com/forum.htm]EuroSpore[/url].[/u] Which is a really good community filled with fantastic people. If anyone is interested, head on over.[/b][/size]

Hello Sporians,

So I decided to make this thread because there aren’t very many building creators out there. A lot of people shy away from this editor and instead of making props themselves, they request them. I used to help in the DLC thread too, but there was maybe one building out of 30

[b]This isn’t a fanclub type of thing, and you don’t have to be a member to post here. This isn’t a thread specifically for people who create buildings and props either. Hopefully you will learn a thing or two, and maybe you’ll want to make your own buildings![/b]

[color=red][b]**Note: all tips, tutorials etc. that doesn't have a name beside it is by me.**[/b][/color]

[b]Almost all of the tips and tutorials now have shortcuts.[/b]

Here are links to some fantastic creators who either specialize in the building editor and/or have some quality buildings (at least 10). They are all imo worth checking out and [b]ALL[/b] have at least a few high quality building creations. If you want to suggest anyone, please provide a link and I will check them out. However it is based on my opinion if they will be included in this thread. Some of these creators are inactive too.

Features won't be a set date. If you want to help find creators to feature then post their profile link here. They must have a minimum of 10 above average buildings. These buildings have to be different too, not just the same creation that's been slightly altered. The creator must also be active.

[size=15][b]Cheats[/b][/size]
----------------
[i]To open the cheat console, hold Ctrl + Shift + C[/i]

[list][size=16][color=red][b]*[/b][/color][/size][b]AddDNA:[/b] Adds 150 sporebucks
[color=white].......[/color] - To make this process faster: While the cheat console is open and you already typed in AddDNA
[color=white]..........[/color]once, just press the up arrow and ENTER however many times you want.[/list]
[list][size=16][color=red][b]*[/b][/color][/size][b]freedom:[/b] Turns off the complexity meter.[/list]
[list][b]toggleeditorbackground:[/b] Makes the background black. [i]Also works for the vehicle and spaceship editors.[/i][/list]

[size=16][color=red][b]*[/b][/color][/size] You can add 100 [u]low[/u] complexity parts to a building (look at the complexity charts). After using AddDNA and/or freedom, you can add about 25 additional parts until it hits max complexity. Watch your complexity meter. You may or may not be able to share your creation if you used these cheats. The thing is that the complexity meter can't be at the max before you use it. So if you have at least one dot you should be able to upload it.

It's kind of trial and error when you use the freedom cheat. Add a few parts and then turn freedom off to see where you are on the complexity meter. You could try uploading on an alt account to see if it's even uploadable as well. Also, when you upload a freedom and AddDNA creation, it will always have the upload symbol on it (the globe thingy with an arrow). This doesn't mean that it's actually uploaded though. You can tell if it's uploaded by looking at the comment box. Once you see that, then you have a successful uploaded creation. If you don't see that comment box, then you don't.

[b]You also won't be able to use these in adventures.[/b]

[color=#461B7E][size=18][b]Crane technique - how to make perfect circles, arches, etc.[/b][/size][/color]

This is a technique that uses a "crane", which is a connector, to rotate a body or base. You can make different shapes such as swirls, circles, arches etc. from simple to really complex.

[size=16][b]Step 1:[/b][/size]
[img]http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/SakiaraJ/cranetechnique1-1.jpg[/img]
Grab a body or a roof. I usually use a [i]Tube Cabin[/i] or [i]Building Block[/i]. Then place a connector on top of it. Use the [i]Skywalked[/i] connector, especially if you are new to this technique. This is because it has a foot. It gives the creator a visual point of reference and tells you which direction to rotate the connector. The reason that you place the connector on a base or roof (the red part), is so you can position it where you want your creation to be instead of the connector. You'll notice that if you click on something else then back onto the connector, if it's raised in the air using Ctrl, that it will delete (you'll need a few parts for this to happen though). After you place the connector in the center, put a body or roof in the center of the connector. Detail parts won't work because they will just be deleted once clicked on.

[size=16][b]Step 2:[/b][/size]
[img]http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/SakiaraJ/cranetechnique2-1.jpg[/img][img]http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/SakiaraJ/cranetechnique3-1.jpg[/img]
Make sure that you properly place the connector. It should snap in place to the center. If you place it in the wrong spot the arch, circle or whatever will be all jaunty - it won't be lined up. When you press tab you will see different axis's. You can use those as guidelines for your creation. If you used the Skywalked connector, rotate the connector perpendicular to the foot. As you can see in the second image, rotating the connector the wrong way made the blocks uneven.
[img]http://i43.tinypic.com/wilrw0.png[/img]
Make sure that you don't make the initial block too wide or you'll automatically overlap them side by side.

[size=16][b]Step 3:[/b][/size]
[img]http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/SakiaraJ/cranetechnique4.jpg[/img]
To make the actual circle, arch, etc., you need to copy the block piece attached to the connector (the green part). For every segment of the curve, copy this block in place. Rotate the connector and repeat.

[b]--Tip by me, Andeavor, AtariMethod, and cwarloe.[/b]

[b]Here's a video demonstrating how:[/b]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJePid4tifg[/youtube]

[size=18][b]It's a parabolic arch by AtariMethod[/b][/size]

That means one that's not perfectly round. Ever see those pretty arches that come to a point at the top? That's a Gothic arch. They're very common on churches. Both are pretty much the same to build in Spore and they require a few more moves to make than a perfectly round arch.

Here's the first three basic steps. 1) Build your crane, place it on the floor. 2)Set your first block and then turn your base exactly 180 degrees. Set your second block. 3) Rotate your connector up like you normally would for a perfect arch.

[color=#461B7E][b][size=18]Painting Tips:[/size][/b][/color]

[i]The paint job is just as important as the parts you used. Sometimes a building doesn’t look good until you paint it. Now that the building editor also has the vehicle paint textures, there’s even more possibilities. But don’t get discouraged.[/i]

[size=18][b].:[/b][/size] To make your buildings shiny. Make sure that your lighting quality setting is on high under settings. If that doesn't work, then it [u]might[/u] be your graphics card. This is what I have for settings:

[img]http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/SakiaraJ/Sporesettings.jpg[/img]

[size=18][b].:[/b][/size] The shiniest texture is the one on the 8th page, second one from the left.

[img]http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/SakiaraJ/Shiniesttexture.jpg[/img]

[size=18][b].:[/b][/size] Always choose the lighter or damper shade of color to give your buildings an aged or worn look and don't be afraid of using rough texture as well. --[b]Tip by Andeavor[/b]

[size=18][b].:[/b][/size] [size=18][b]Tips by Digi-P[/b][/size]

I found this trick when I created my Phoenix building series. Some parts have a unique property when applying texture. All of the below examples use the same color and texture. [size=10][i]PS. My Spore doesn't display part names in English, so I need to change its name into English. It may not be accurate.[/i][/size]

[IMG]http://i625.photobucket.com/albums/tt338/Hamtamon/Texture/Test1.gif[/IMG]

The first one is the Poritron detail part (Row 5 Column 3). The texture looks normal but if you flip it, it can display a smaller series of texture. Useful if you want to create a combination of large and small textures.

The second one shows that the size of a part has an impact on some textures.

The third one is a flip and un-flipped donut detail part. Some texture can give a different look by flipping parts around.
------------------------------------------------

[img]http://i625.photobucket.com/albums/tt338/Hamtamon/Texture/Test2.gif[/img][img]http://i625.photobucket.com/albums/tt338/Hamtamon/Texture/Test3.gif[/img]

These two show the Phidop (Row 8 column 2) and Teardrops (One of my favorite detail parts) in different state. By change the size or change the shape of it (by dragging an arrow), it can create a unique texture as well.
------------------------------------------------

Below is a set of my favorite textures aside from the shiny texture (display in green square). It can create an amazing detail and unique texture to a building. It usually will be my first choice if I want a complex looking building.

Many creators want to know how I get some of my textures so shiny. So I thought I'd create a video. But you will need a good graphics card with your Spore settings on high.

[color=#461B7E][b][size=18]How to make Victorian style buildings by Andeavor:[/size][/b][/color]

I finally managed to make a victorian style roof.

[b]Victorian Manor[/b]
[url=http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=usr-Andeavor%7C2260696154%3Asast-500643077127][img]http://static.spore.com/static/image/500/643/077/500643077127_lrg.png[/img][/url]

Take a leather roof and place it slightly over the edges of the base, then use two civic roofs [url=http://sporetips.blogspot.com/2010/08/creatortip-rotating-roofs-and-bases.html]upside-down[/url] and place them top and bottom and you have a victorian/second empire style roof. It may take a bit of the complexity but it looks pretty realistic. Besides, I can't believe I managed to put in as much detail into this house with those base parts, windows and roof technique.

[color=blue]Tips by cwarloe are in blue.[/color] [color=green]Tips by Digi-P are in green.[/color]
[b]
[size=16]1. Remember Where the Camera is:[/size][/b]
[color=blue]When looking at a building sculpture, most people will judge it by the png. Therefore, it is important to know what angle the png will be taken from. Immediately after you enter the editor, grab a "building block" body part and turn it so one side faces you. On the other hand, you can use this lovely template:
[url=http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=usr-cwarloe|500336952059%3Asast-500590064472%3Apg-20][img]http://static.spore.com/static/thumb/500/590/064/500590064472.png[/img][/url][/color]
[b]
[size=16]2. Have a Picture for Reference:[/size][/b]
[color=blue]Self Explanatory-In the case that you are inventing something new, try to find a few picture that resemble parts of your sculpture. This will be useful in step 7.[/color]

[b][size=16]3.Have a Stand:[/size][/b]
[color=blue]You may notice that most of my sculptures have a "stand" on them. The stand is simply a tube cabin body piece. This provides a sort of floor that lets you attach pieces directly on the ground. You can also hide pieces partially inside the "stand", enabling you to create a flat bottom for the foot of you sculpture. [/color]

[b][size=16]4. Use a Body:[/size][/b]
[color=blue]Most of the time I use a "body" piece to create, well the body of my sculpture this create a place where you can position detail pieces before moving them to another place. (see step 5)
Ex.[img]http://static.spore.com/static/thumb/500/575/385/500575385272.png[/img](Bob's body and chest) [img]http://static.spore.com/static/thumb/500/577/379/500577379773.png[/img](Odie's mouth)[/color]
[color=green]You may use a single body part and then attached it with connector parts for the rest of the body to create a more realistic body.
Ex. [img]http://static.spore.com/static/thumb/500/325/322/500325322451.png[/img][/color]

[b][size=16]5.Ctrl and Shift are you friends:[/size][/b]
[color=blue]The main type of building part i use in my sculptures is the detail part. However, you may notice that details will only attach to body part! to get around this, attach the detail part to either the "stand", or the "body" of your sculpture. You can then use the "crtl" and "shift" buttons on your key board to move the piece. (crtl: moves piece horizontally|shift: moves piece vertically)[/color]
[b]
[size=16]6.DON"T PRESS UNDO![/size][/b]
[color=blue]This can be very annoying during building. Due the the fact that detail parts are not supposed to be able to"float." Any piece that is clicked, crtl or shift+clicked, or scaled with the mouse wheel will atomatically be deleted. If you accidentally press undo, simply don not click any of your previously moved detail pieces. If you still need to edit a piece, click the detail and reattach it to a body piece, then, restart the whole ctrl/shift process.[/color]
[color=green]I think there are some allowed space between body/connector and detail part that are not affected by undo.
You can check this by moving body part.
- If detail part move along with body part, it will not affected by undo.
- If detail part is too far and float like that when you move body part, it will affected by undo

Also, If you close the editor and reopen it, the floating part will be affected similar to pressing undo. (Meaning it will automatically deleted if you click it.)[/color]

[b][size=16]7.Look for shortcuts:[/size][/b]
[color=blue]Try to find pieces in the picture you have that resembles spore parts. This will make the whole thing a lot easier than trying to use multiple details to recreate that one piece.[/color]
[b]
[size=16]8.Focus on the Face: [/size][/b]
[color=blue]The face of your character can either make or break your sculpture. If the face looks like the real thing, people will most likely know who it is. If you happen to run out of complexity, NEVER take away from the face.[/color]

[b][size=16]9.Try not to worry about complexity:[/size][/b]
[color=blue]If you use detail parts, complexity shouldn't really be a problem. Most of my sculptures end of in the green or light yellow.[/color]
[color=green]For me, I like to max out complexity, if you already satisfy with the detail on its "main character", then try to use any complexity left for the environment around it. It really boost the look in PNG and even in game.[/color]

[b][size=16]10. Simple Paint is Best:[/size][/b]
[color=blue]While painting your sculpture, it's best not to use anything too fancy. My favorite texture is on Pg.1, Row 1, Column 2[/color]
[color=green]Simple paint work best if you try to recreate cartoon/ anime exactly. For me, I will only use simple paint if I don't have any other choice. You may use a paint to add more detail. A paint with one color option is the best if you aim for a "feeling" (like a single color fur, skin etc.). A paint with two color option is the best if you aim for more detail (Like a cloth or pattern.). [/color]

[color=#461B7E][b][size=18]Pezzalis's Building Set Basics:[/size][/b][/color]

I'm gonna share some of my important guidelines to building sets

If you want to make a cool set, the best way to do it is to play around with body and roof parts.

It is important to find a [b]Main set piece[/b]. This is the block that you want to be present throughout the whole set.
Grab the main set piece, move it, morph it, size it. Find an appealing shape. Then duplicate it. Rotate it to be symmetrical to the other, or size it so it creates a layer. Get creative! When you have found a non complex design that you like, begin adding details to the building. Windows, doors, different block shapes, structural support, spires etc. Remember the detail parts you used. These are your [b]Set detail pieces[/b].

This way every time you make a new building in the set, select the Main set piece and form the design you have developed, [b]BUT[/b] make it slightly unique. Maybe rotate the whole design 90 degrees or shape it slightly larger or smaller - Morph it in another direction or even multiply the design and have multiple buildings This way there is a common design throughout the set. Then grab your Set detail pieces and well... detail it
This way there is a common sense of style and detail throughout the set without too much similarity.

Colouring: Make sure there is a colour similarity amongst the set. Seeing as colouring can vary greatly depending on the style, this is up to you.

This whole design thing may seem a little complex, so here's some examples by me (Of other peoples species' buildings) :

[b]Dracknorin's Adrenti Set[/b]

[b]Main set piece:[/b]: Barn Roof - They are sized up, and duplicated many times, each time they are sized down a little to give the carved wood effect. They are stacked high above each other in a Norse-like fashion.
[b]Set Detail Pieces[/b]:
Thinkin' Logs - Used as a central structure piece, usually painted like stone.
Windows: Blue coloured blocks to replicate 'glass' areas. Glazier Box, Cobbled portal window pieces.
Party Favour - Curled to give a carved bone look to the roofs.

[b]Main set piece:[/b]:
Pyramid. Stretched long and rotated vertically. Duplicated, Pieces stretched back to standard pyramid size, then duplicated furthermore, raised and lowered to create triangular windows. On lower levels they are flat on the ground and duplicated and sized and painted accordingly.
[b]Set Detail Pieces[/b]:
Not a lot really... The same trees (Top cap) I guess this was one of my earlier sets - But I think the design and paint makes it one of my best, but there isn't a lot of detail. You can see totem poles in most of them, and they use the same door.

[b]Main set piece:[/b]:
Barn Roof. A LOT of barn roof (Its very non complex)
Multiplied and rotated around an axis to give the curved roof. Rotated and stretched vertically, then multiplied and sized down (and out) to give the layered window effect.
[b]Set Detail Pieces[/b]:
Dome roof - Covering over where all the bases of the Barnroofs meet and form a circular area.

[b]Main set piece:[/b]:
Octaroost. Stretched vertically (Maybe on a slight angle too) and copied, and rotated to form a symmetrical spire. Layered to form vertical window rows.
[b]Set Detail Pieces[/b]:
Tower roof - Used as spires (Stretched a lot) and as a base on some of the buildings.
Mushroom stalk and Acicularis. Used as flora (Or fungi)

This style is present in nearly all my sets. I have a Main set piece and sometimes a secondary block piece, and many re-occurring detail pieces. I find that this... 'Format'... Makes set building very easy and much quicker (Once you've done the first building) while still retaining unique re-occurring forms and quality to the set

[color=#461B7E][b][size=18]Misc. Tips:[/size][/b][/color]

[list]To rotate a body or roof, put it on any connector part. By using tab, you can move it in any direction you want. Here's a video:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNzxL6K6YSs[/youtube][/list]
[list] As soon as you load up the editor, [b]ALWAYS[/b] turn the building towards the screen. Here’s a screenshot to give you an idea:

[img]http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/SakiaraJ/computerconsole.jpg?t=1249794677[/img]

Notice the angle the building is relative to the steps.

[color=red]Note: There are a few issues with this if you are making GAprops. You may not want to turn the building. For some people, if the building is turned they appear that way in the adventure. It's also a lot more difficult to position them in the adventure editor - they are on an odd angle.

One of the issues is that when you have a cut scene with a building object, the camera rotates to face the "front" of the building (the part facing the stairs in the building editor). This is different that the camera position used to create the png. You don't get the same camera angle.

The other issue is that when you have give goals (give object to building), the NPC (or player) moves to the "front" of the building and hands the object to the "front" of the building. This can cause problems if the "front" of the building isn't accessible because the adventure author rotated the building because it was designed to have the best view face the camera that generates the png.[/color] [b]-- Tip by DVDMaster[/b][/list]
[list] I find that looking at pictures really helps. [/list]
[list] The best way to learn how something is built, is to take it apart.[/list]
[list]Use parts to create a sense of scale on a building. Using parts to create a sense of scale in a creation would be important as well I guess, which is how you can recreate almost anything within the limits of Spore's creators, just through using the parts that we have available.

The small spheres at the bottom, tweaked and coloured to look like pines help make this building seem much more accurate to its true height. Adding little details always helps to create a better building. Be it terraced gardens, little windows, balconies.

--[b]Tip by jamesgelfand[/b][/list]
[list]Experiment with parts. There are a lot of underrated ones such as connectors, windows and doors. Finding new and unique uses for the parts, rotating them to new angles, shrinking or enlarging them, even just basic experimentation all give rise to new results. --[b]Tip by jamesgelfand[/b]

Connectors are an underrated piece of the building editors, and I think windows and doors are better used in the same way many people use knurls on creatures! By flipping them upside down and back to front. --[b]Tip by Vektrix[/b]

Here are a few examples:
[url=http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=usr-Sakiara|2264176165%3Asast-500238454964%3Apg-100][img]http://ll-454.ea.com/spore/static/thumb/500/238/454/500238454964.png[/img][/url][url=http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=ftr-building%3Ausr-jamesgelfand|500192905613%3Asast-500356817294%3Apg-80%3Aview-newest][img]http://static.spore.com/static/thumb/500/356/817/500356817294.png[/img][/url][url=http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=usr-StarUniter|500225840251%3Asast-500402421761][img]http://ll-421.ea.com/spore/static/thumb/500/402/421/500402421761.png[/img][/url]
The first one is a butterfly made almost entirely of just windows. The second one is by jamesgelfand where he attached a series of connectors, enabling the recreation of the 7* Burj Al Arab Hotel of Dubai. The third one is by StarUniter and uses doors and windows.[/list]
[list]When trying to build more complex structures, start with the more detailed parts and replace them with simpler parts when the complexity shoots up too early.[b]--Tip by Andeavor[/b][/list]
[list]If you're building an entire complex or a hallway for GA, keep editing the same building and save them as new creations; i.e. build the complete hallway section and then take it apart, saving each separately.[b]--Tip by Andeavor[/b][/list]
[list]Making Parallel Building Parts at jaunty angles.

[img]http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/353/parellelpart.png[/img]

-First you need to make your jaunty angled part, by attaching it to a connector, rotating the connector and use ctrl/shift to get it to the location you want.

-Then attach a connector to this part you just moved, allow it to snap into position as shown on the left example.

-Add the building/roof part you want to run parallel with the original, you can size it now, but sizing is still available at later times.

-Using TAB on the connector, draging the connector round until it snaps into place. You now have a perfectly parallel building part.[b]--Tip by Vektrix[/b][/list]
[list]Heres a little Halloween hint:

Put blocks or something that fit in the windows, then paint the block or whatever you used black. It will then look like it's dark inside of the building.

[img]http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/9373/spore20091022145814.png[/img]
[b]--Tip by HyperSmash[/list][/b]

[list]I've been making many props with a nice pattern on them, like this one:

[url=http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=usr-Aegonian%7C500431746519%3Asast-500560927980%3Apg-20][img]http://static.spore.com/static/image/500/560/927/500560927980_lrg.png[/img][/url]

It's quite easy to make, but it does take some time to place all of the parts. Just make a wall, and put a small block in it, which must be a little bit thicker than the wall. Copy this block and raise it with [i]ctrl[/i], and you'll get a pattern like this after some time. The wall should be the bright colour (I used green) and the other blocks should all be a darker colour, if you want the same effect as here. If you're good at using the [i]shift[/i] button you can make more complex patterns. Putting many props like these in an adventure looks very strange and alien. I hope you like this, and maybe some of you might find it useful.
[b]--Tip by Aegonian[/list][/b]
[list]What's a way to keep scale and style consistent in a series of buildings that are in different editors - factory, house, etc.?

The best way that i can think of is to use a base part as a guide for the height, just shrink it and remember how many times your mouse scrolling wheel clicks as you expand the base part. eg: 12 times, then do the same for each building...
If you want to place connectors or windows in the exact same position, you could always use the checkers texture or any other texture for a guide... Hope that helps.[b]--Tip by techno605[/list][/b]

[size=18][color=blue][b]4. Tutorial 1 ---> Fairytale House[/b][/color][/size]

[img]http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/SakiaraJ/Spore_2009-08-06_20-55-40.png?t=1249793724[/img]

Sure this building may look daunting, but I assure you that it is easy to create. If you want to make this building, go ahead, but please give me credit. Add in your own changes too. If you do make it, you can post it here. I’ve split it into 4 steps – Building the shape, Windows & doors, Decorations, and Paint.
[color=green]
[b][i]Step 1 – Building The Shape:[/i][/b][/color]

[img]http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/SakiaraJ/Spore_2009-08-06_19-20-03-step1.png?t=1249792933[/img]

[size=10][b]Parts:[/b]
1. Cubicle
2. Cubicle
3. Tube Cabin
4. Cubicle
5. Pyramid
6. Tower Roof
7. Pyramid[/size]

For buildings, start off with the basic blocks – which will most likely be bodies and roofs - and then add on the details and décor. Place a Cubicle (1) in the center of the platform. Make sure to turn it towards the screen like I did in the screenshot above. Use the arrow pointing up to extend the part up a bit. Grab another Cubicle (2) and place it on top of the other cubicle. Use Ctrl to move the part down a bit so there is no space in between. Then find the Tube Cabin (3). Grab the up arrow and extend it above the two cubicles. Take another cubicle (4) and extend it again using the up arrow. Make sure that this cubicle is level with the Tube Cabin (3). This building is all about proportions. Rotate it so that it is on an angle like it is in the screenshot. Then switch to the roofs tab. Find the Pyramid part (5) and plop it on the middle blocks. Use the arrows to get the desired shape. Put a Tower Roof (6) on the left tower and a Pyramid (7) on the right one.

[color=green][b][i]Step 2 – Windows & Doors:[/i][/b][/color]

You can choose to paint now, or wait a bit. For this tutorial I’ll go over paint at the end. Don’t use a ton of different windows. When you use the same parts over again it makes the building flow all together. Make sure that the windows are proportionate relative to each other.

[img]http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/SakiaraJ/Spore_2009-08-06_19-50-23-step2.png?t=1249793227[/img][img]http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/SakiaraJ/Spore_2009-08-06_20-20-04.png?t=1249793077[/img]

[size=10][b]Parts: [/b]
1. Lancet Columns
2. Spoorish Lancet (4)
3. Spoorish Lancet (2)
4. New Colonial (2)
5. Spoorish Lancet w/ Charismatic
6. Spoorish Lancet
7. New Colonial
8. Machicolation (2)[/size]

Place the Lancet Columns (1) door in the center of the middle bottom Cubicle. Then place two Spoorish Lancet (2) windows on the left and right side of the door (use alt tab to copy the windows). Make sure they are all level with one another (use Ctrl). Place two Spoorish Lancet (3) windows on the center line of the Upper Cubicle. Put each of these windows near the edges. On the Tube Cabin, put two New Colonial (4) windows. For the right tower, place a Spoorish Lancet (5) near the center of the cubicle. This time make the window bigger so that it appears to look like a door. In the details tab, place the Charismatic part under this window giving it a little balcony feel. Use shift to sink the charismatic in a bit. Place a Spoorish Lancet (6) above the balcony and a New Colonial window (7) below the balcony. Then put two Machicolation ( windows on the center of the Pyramid roofs. Use Ctrl to make them level with the edge. You’ll have to use the arrows to get the windows to look how they do in the screenshot.

[color=green][b][i]Step 3 - Decorations:[/i][/b][/color]

[img]http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/SakiaraJ/Spore_2009-08-06_20-58-15.png?t=1249793439[/img]

[size=10][b]Parts:[/b]
1. Dome Roof
2. Dome Roof
3. New Colonial (
4. Lawn Art (3)[/size]

Place a Dome Roof (1) in between the two cubicles along the red line. Then grab any connector and place a Dome Roof (2) on the connector. Rotate the connector 180 degrees. Place it below the other dome roof leaving room for the windows. Delete the connector. Then place around either New Colonial (3) windows. You’ll have to rotate them to get the desired bay window shape. Then place three Lawn Art (4) parts (found in the Housing tab). Make sure the red edge of the bottom of the lawn art lines up with the red part of the buildings.

[color=green][b][i]Step 4 - Paint:[/i][/b][/color]

Here are the paint textures and colors I used:

[img]http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/SakiaraJ/Spore_2009-08-06_20-20-04-painttext.png?t=1249793289[/img]

At the top of the screenshot, the left texture is on the second page, first row, fourth from the left. The middle texture is on the first page, third row down, second from the left. The right texture is on the fourth page, bottom row, fourth from the left. Light beige and black for the first texture, dark red for the middle texture, and dark blue for the right texture. I used the shingle texture for the shrubs too, except green of course….Or if you want to make it easy, just use the Paint Like option. This can be found at the bottom of the first tab, when switching to paint mode.

Has anyone done a tutorial regarding putting together buildings using gaprop building parts? I'm not sure how I'd do one though - or even if I am the right person to do so.

Also, Saki, this was the building I was thinking of when I mentioned using doors and windows. It's by StarUniter

Amazing work Atari. Good curves are some of the hardest things to make in spore. and that is an excellent tutorial to doing it. Not to mention good for those who do not know how to use connectors to rotate bases.

When you do that in the building editor, it makes it a freedom creation and it won't pollinate. I try to make all my creations able to be placed in the game. Also, because the parts are so expensive in the building editor, you'll find yourself typing "adddna [enter]" for an hour.

I did an edit of your building and this is what I came up with:

[img]http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/SakiaraJ/Spore_2010-01-23_17-23-47.png?t=1264289383[/img]

What I did was change the paint job, added color and pipes. As I said before the connector Veranda is good for factories as well as the detail part charismatic (it's the balcony part, but if you sink it into a wall it looks like a pipe). I also added tube cabin parts to give it a more factory feel.

You have a ton of complexity left - it's still in the green. So just add a lot of cylindrical and square parts. Add more pipes if you like too.

If you want, I can give you the small png so you can look at it in game.

I really wasn't happy with my last building so I hadn't posted it, but I think that constructive criticism is important so I'm going to go ahead and put it here anyway. ^^; Especially now since I have one that I -am- really happy with even though it was not a complicated building.

[url=http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=usr-Greenneutron|2263153913%3Asast-500529777336][img]http://static.spore.com/static/image/500/529/777/500529777336_lrg.png[/img][/url]

Really not happy with how the lava turned out. It's too thick in a lot of places. :-\ Not sure how the colors could have been done better on the lava either, except to have used a lot smaller of pieces. I wanted a two-tone blend color but I couldn't find one. (If I just haven't been able to find it please tell me cause I've wanted that for so many things. >_< wtb new building paints expansion pack please! )

[url=http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=sast-500531273167][img]http://static.spore.com/static/image/500/531/273/500531273167_lrg.png[/img][/url]

This one was very straight-forward to build, but still I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I kind of wish that I could have made it in the House editor, because I would have liked to be able to use the torches for the real fire effect, but in my game it needed to be a city hall building, and as a house it really doesn't make much sense. (Unless it's a gaprop.) I still have 3 more buildings that I'm going to try to make as a cohesive 'set' with this one for use in game, because I still haven't really been able to make a set as well as I'd like. Might post the other buildings if it works, and perhaps even if it doesn't so I can get some suggestions.

Edit to post the other three buildings in the set. The factory is the least impressive imho, but I was trying to make a particular machine and it looks more or less how I wanted it to even if it's not my best work.

Factory (As I noted, a bit dull)

Housing (I was going for a really unique architectural style here, the .png really does a bit of a bad job representing how the buildings look)
[url=http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=sast-500531437628][img]http://static.spore.com/static/image/500/531/437/500531437628_lrg.png[/img][/url]

Entertainment (I like this one the best personally, but I think that's just because it was the most 'pretty' looking thing I was planning to make for the civ ^^) If I have one complaint it's that it's too large maybe in scale compared to the houses, but it wouldn't've worked as well otherwise.

Greenneutron: thank you very much and wow you make a lot of creations in a short period of time hehe. That is a great set. For me it's difficult to do sets, because mine just look the same except it's in a different building editor (house, city hall, etc). You should put set:name in the tags though, so that they will all link together in game. I'm downloading all of them so I can look at them in the editor. I'll give you a critique on your Pele's Temple when I do that too.

iceman: lol ok, but you still have a ton of complexity left that you can add to it. What I would do for sure is change the paint job though.

Aap: yup, all types of buildings are fine in this thread as long as it's made in the building editor

I alternated these two textures for the lava and used a red and orange color
- texture on 5th page, 2nd row from the top, 2nd from the right
- texture on 5th page, 3rd row, the first one on the left

And I find that the stone texture on the 2nd page, top row, 3rd from the left is good for burnt rock. I also sunk the smokey thingies into the ground and changed the water texture and color a bit. Or wait are the silver smokey thingies rocks? hehe, anyway I like that it's an action shot with the lava spitting out and the overall structure looks good.

@B1ack_Blob: I like the whole concept and design. The paint job looks good, but I looked at a bunch of other UF buildings and got the idea that brick doesn't really go with the theme. The bars are kind of hard to see too, so I made them a little lighter. You did really good with the complexity except I found two unneeded blocks. One by the brick wall on the sides without the door and one right above the top balcony level under the roof block. So you could add a few more parts there. So basically other then the paint job I wouldn't change anything, or nothing that I can think of anyway

This is the paint job that I did:

So I've been working on a new technique thingy with windows and I finally finished. There are a lot of cool designs, it sucks that windows take up a lot of complexity though. I do realize that there are other ones, but I just included the more interesting ones. Anyway, here they are:

I'm only going to make the iconic rooms such as the great hall, the corridor, the courtyard and one or two general rooms you can make into any classroom.

I commented and rated Doomsoul's turret and Vektrix's headquarters up.

@Doomsoul: As you can see from my comment I like the design, construction and use of parts. So I can't think of anything. Perhaps maybe a different paint job. The screenshot and the png look a lot different imo paint wise. The png is a little fuzzy maybe?

@Jo: nope, but cool pic

@Vektrix: yes, I agree with you. I have to like what I'm making or I don't share it or just think it looks like a piece of crap heh.

Saki, it's more whether you enjoy making it, regardless of quality. I have enjoyed making some of the creations back in the day when I was truly awesome in my badness.

I recommend using a different pattern for the water, maybe the one that looks like flames, and use blues to make it look like water.
As for the beach, slightly darken and lighten parts of the beach to make it look more realistic.
And the building, make it deeper colours and not so dull

So it's a kind of abstract face? I think it would look better without the wall. The blocks are kind of uneven, some color would spruce it up a bit and you should make the spheres complete circles. Techno has a video how to do that in the OP too. It's a good start though Blazeer, nice work

I don't think anyone has learned all they can learn....This is a really hard question to answer imo.

When you take things apart look how things take shape. Parts can be sunken into other parts, parts can be used in an unorthodox way (using parts for not really what they are meant for - like windows for wings in my butterfly creations). There's a tip in the OP about that. Using the pull arrows alters the parts and can completely change how it looks. There's a lot of combinations too. The possibilities are pretty endless....

You basically face the camera and use a connector to tilt it forward. Do the same with any object on the base. From the side it will look all crooked but on the PNG it'll look like the picture was taken from above.

[size=18][b]Fake Depth Tutorial by TorgOwl:[/b][/size]

How to use forced perspective to make structures look REALLY tall:

[size=16][b]Step 1[/b][/size]
[url=http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=usr-TorgOwl|2267125033%3Asast-500319688066%3Apg-140][img]http://static.spore.com/static/image/500/319/688/500319688066_lrg.png[/img][/url]
[color=red][i](Note: Auxiliary structures are white, the building framework green, decorations are blue)[/i][/color] Make a wall with a connector. Stack bodies or roofs on the connector. Any element of these two classes will work, but I strongly recommend things that can be shaped cone-like, especially tubes, candomoniums, concentricles, dollops, or even formable roofs. Now, make all the tubes on top of the connector smaller at the bottom, bigger at the top. And try to make it look like a smooth line from bottom to top, no dents or bulges (or at least, no big dents or bulges). If you already know some of the elements you will use to decorate your really tall structures with, you might add them now, especially if you have to turn them in any weird arrangements. Because they will be much harder to arrange later on, when the towers are tilted in step 2 (believe me, I know what I'm talking about here)

[size=16][b]Step 2[/b][/size]
[url=http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=usr-TorgOwl|2267125033%3Asast-500319689714%3Apg-140][img]http://static.spore.com/static/image/500/319/689/500319689714_lrg.png[/img][/url]
Now, tilt the connector to the side. This will tilt the tubes (or whatever you have on top of the connector), too. And if these framework structures are much smaller at the bottom, it looks like it's much higher than it actually is. Now, be sure that your tower is tilted the right way. It is ABSOLUTELY VITAL that it looks roughly where the 'camera' is in the preview window and the small icon .png, but not exactly at the camera. You want to see the sidewalls in shortened, vanishing perspective. It might be necessary to save, leave the editor, look at the icon, go back in the editor, adjust the angle (both horizontally and vertically) and so on. Generally, you should tilt it ca. 45 degrees to the left of the building entrance, and in a rather flat angle. But don't move the framework away from the connector yet: Bodies are not really meant to bend this way. Once they're on the ground, it's almost impossible to stack tilted bodies on anything else including connectors -> once you have removed the tubes from the connector, there's no way to turn them again. They will stay tilted in exactly this angle. It's still possible to change the width and height, though. So you can still retouch how fast your structure vanishes in the distance.

[size=16][b]Step 3[/b][/size]
[url=http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=usr-TorgOwl|2267125033%3Asast-500319688928%3Apg-140][img]http://static.spore.com/static/image/500/319/688/500319688928_lrg.png[/img][/url]
Now, one neat side effect is that the bottom of your top tube is still inside the area where editing is allowed, but the top is sticking way out of it towards the camera. However, details (here in blue) don't care where they are, they just stick to the main body. This means you can decorate the top of your structure way outside the normally accessable parts! The elements you can put up there are details (most useful), windows, doors (although the stupid things are always tilted in an unusable way), and some special building parts. You have to experiment to find out which special parts you can put there and which ones not. Be sure to align the decorations so that they follow the crooked lines of the main building. That is the REALLY HARD part, because you have to use CTRL & SHIFT, but your angles are diagonal now, and shifting decorations along these angles with just horizontal and vertical steps can be quiet unnerving. And don't forget the zooming in and out functionality (the + and - buttons), they are really your friends here. You might have to exit to the icon view to find all instances where decorations point the wrong way - they're easy to miss in the editor itself. Two other tricks to make the structure really tall: Put many identical parts above each other, but make them smaller and smaller to the bottom, in the same way the framework itself gets smaller. And, make the lower parts gradually getting darker (framework and decorations); this gives it a slight disappearing-in-the-distance view.

I've been meaning to thank you all for this excellent thread, you've really helped me to grow in the past few months by leaps and bounds in what used to be my least favorite editor. Since then, I've grown a lot.

I know this isn't a "show off your latest thread", but I will show what I made after tinkering afound with some cranes and whatnot. It's only something to show how you've helped.

sorry for double post but I had to make some adjustments

[size=18][b]Some things have been moved around, tips added, tutorials removed. If anyone has anything to add please feel free to do so. I would be much appreciated [/b][/size]

[color=#461B7E][size=18][b]Crane technique - how to make perfect circles, arches, etc.[/b][/size][/color]

This is a technique that uses a "crane", which is a connector, to rotate a body or base. You can make different shapes such as swirls, circles, arches etc. from simple to really complex.

[size=16][b]Step 1:[/b][/size]
[img]http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/SakiaraJ/cranetechnique1.jpg[/img]
You grab a body or a roof. I usually use a [i]Tube Cabin[/i] or [i]Building Block[/i]. Then place a connector on top of it - I usually use the [i]Up Periscope[/i] but it's whatever your preference is. The reason for the base or roof is so you can position it where you want your creation to be instead of the connector. You'll notice that if you click on something else then back onto the connector, if it's raised in the air using ctrl, that it will delete (you'll need a few parts for this to happen though). After you put the connector on top of the body. Put another body or base in the center of the connector. Detail parts won't work because they will just be deleted once clicked on.

[size=16][b]Step 2:[/b][/size]
[img]http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/SakiaraJ/cranetechnique2.jpg[/img]
Make sure that you properly place the connector or the arch, circle or whatever will be all jaunty - it won't be lined up. When you press tab you will see different axis. You can use those as guidelines for your creation.

[size=16][b]Step 3:[/b][/size]
[img]http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/SakiaraJ/cranetechnique3.jpg[/img]
To make the circle or arch, you need to copy the block piece attatched to the connector. For every segment of the curve, you need to copy the block in place, then you can rotate the connector and repeat.

[b]Here's a video demonstrating how:[/b]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qau0Smz-uek[/youtube]
Notice how the it's not all lined up. That's because I didn't properly position the connector.

Also, it turns out that the beginning editor angle and the png angle are slightly off. This proved to be a problem in making this.

I haz a question for you. I have started making my first arch building, and need to know, how do I finish a complete circle? I have it all the way down to the bottom, and I am missing one block. How can I finish the circle?

EDIT: I sort of figured it out. Here is the full ring, is this a perfect ring?

Re:All About Buildings New Tutorial by TorgOwl - Fake Depth

Andeavor — GMT

It's pretty much a perfect circle. When making a ring like that I tend do do the straight ones first, then complete a quarter to see how many blocks need placing and then do the same with the other three - a bit OCD-ish as usual.

Important is to only turn the connector all the way around or the circle will be off.

could we perhaps have a tutorial about how to do the signs and silhouette's?

I searched the first pages of the thread up to about 10 then started on the back ones, but couldn't find any tutorial or tips on how to make these...

so if one already exists can you please point me in the right direction? and if one doesn't can it please be made?

I am a bit of a noob to the whole building creation thing, well to most of spore actually, i have only really dabbled a little in the creature creator and made one simple adventure in GA, so most of my stuff is fairly basic and i would love to learn more from you fantastic artists out there!

I would also love more comments on my creatures, so if you have a moment or two please don't hesitate to comment on some of them

Also, if you'd like some comments on your stuff leave me a link and i'll take a look.

Re:All About Buildings New Tutorial by TorgOwl - Fake Depth

Warboss92 — GMT

As with almost everything in Spore, learn by working backwards. Take a silhouette you like and take it apart in the editor, see how shapes go together and what parts make what shapes, also not the angles. Some people, like Saki in particular, place many of their parts on angles in relation to the canvas, this will make the part appear drastically different from the front viewing angle based on its tilt from the canvas.

I was thinking about doing one and as far as I know there isn't a tutorial out there for one. We'll see though, there's not much to it besides looking at the outlines and not the overall shape. Taking them apart would be the best learning method imo.

[quote=iceman2]Hmm i wonder why no one made the olympic rings with the circle technique [/quote]
Yes, like Vektrix said they would be too complex. You can only have 100 low complexity parts (like the base [i]Building Block[/i] part) on a creation without running out of money. You'll have to use cheats to finish it up.

Look at the previous post where Andeavor answered this question already. It's trial and error. You have to estimate it. Make only parts of the circle at a time.

Nice job ice. I think it could use some color and the blocks aren't perfectly aligned. This is because the connector wasn't perfectly centered. To make sure that you don't have uneven blocks just make a few of them (by rotating the connector and copying the blocks). If they aren't aligned. Undo and move the connector a bit. Try again.

am i right in assuming you can only use the first tab parts (can't remember what they're actually called) to make the abstract parts with the connector copy+paste trick? or is my spore just being dumb?

Yes, you're right about that, but Ive seen players do many cool things with those parts as well, take a look at some of CyberGraphixs stuff

Anyway, i am going to show you my newest building series;

I used a special technique on these buildings: First i made the whole building and then i ruined it by changing the textures, removing parts, adding some bricks on the ground, and then i added some veins.

the last one isn't shared yet. I couldn't find any larger pictures of them, but you can take a look at them at my page. http://www.spore.com/view/myspore/Icedmask

Yes cwarl is right. Your blocks do not run smoothly from one block to the next one. And the roundness has nothing to do with it. Your connector isn't positioned right.

If you don't like it how come you uploaded it? Also do you have the lightning quality setting on high or medium? Your creations look a bit fuzzy. If you do then it might be your graphics card.

On your creation, it's a nice concept but it lacks something. I'm not sure I like the balls and the perpendicular circles. You should check out abstract art by techno, Kuzuki, arastoph, Chaos and Vektrix. The links to their profiles are in the OP.

No, you can also use roofs and doors too. The first tab is the body one. The reason why you can't use detail parts is because they will not stay there. When a detail part is floating in the air and not attached to a roof or body part it will delete. Unless you drag it by holding shift and Ctrl.

What do you mean by you can't find the larger pics? Instead of clicking on the small png and getting the properties. [u]Click[/u] on the image and take it from that one.

Re:All About Buildings New Tutorial by TorgOwl - Fake Depth

iceman2 — GMT

wait so how do you provent the non pointed edges.

Re:All About Buildings New Tutorial by TorgOwl - Fake Depth

cwarloe — GMT

@ice: When plcaing a block on a connector:
1. make sure the connector is straight up
2. when placing the brick, it will most like "snap to" an area
3. once it snaps into place, that means it is centered

Re:All About Buildings New Tutorial by TorgOwl - Fake Depth

Sakiara — GMT

ice you really have to read the replies people give you. I'm not sure you've even fully read the OP either. I went into detail how to prevent your pointed edges and to make a smooth transition from one block to the next.

It needs to be straight, but the connector ALSO needs to be directly in the center of the shape.

don't overcopy the block:
[IMG]http://i43.tinypic.com/wilrw0.png[/IMG]
notice on how the first example, the block is copied when the edges line up, creating a smooth transition
on the second example, the block is overcopied causing bumps in the arch

Re:All About Buildings New Tutorial by TorgOwl - Fake Depth

iceman2 — GMT

ok ok so after you line them up to that then what do you do next to prevent the pointed edges.

Re:All About Buildings New Tutorial by TorgOwl - Fake Depth

just keep copying

Don't make the initial block too wide or you'll automatically overlap them side by side.

i figure this might be a good place to ask about making a dancefloor/interior disco for an adventure i'm working on, i found all the bits i want, i just can't get them to sit properly where i want them to and have the characters interact with the dancefloor in the right way, I've tried looking through the Sporepedia for example adventures or adventures with dancefloors in them, but i haven't found one yet, can someone possibly point me in the right direction or perhaps give me some hints on how to make a dancefloor/interior disco that the characters can interact with correctly?

Also, I'm looking to create an abstract exterior for the building and then using that same design flow in the interior, is there any tricks I should know about?

Keep in mind I'm fairly new to the adventure creator and also to the whole abstract building thing.

Future projects: Dancefloor interior disco abstract building thing.
Astro Boy Statue (did start this but forgot to hit save before i exited the editor)
More weird and wonderful creatures (they seem to be my forte`, though i'm willing to branch out and try new stuff, so any help much appreciated...even something as simple as a link to something simple i may be missing to make my interiors work better in adventures.)

Note: My one and only adventure (so far) is up on youtube, but not on my profile as i'm loathe to "share" it just yet, there's still some kinks that haven't been ironed out. So for now, it's just on my youtube for people to ogle...here's the link if you wanna have a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Yig_LuqJIc best viewed in full screen to read the speech bubbles...

first open up your creation in the sporepedia
then look at this picture:[url]http://i40.tinypic.com/15qowgj.jpg[/url]
[code][url=RED TEXT HERE][img]PINK TEXT HERE[/img][/url][/code]
copy and paste the text circled in red in to the "Red text here" area
right click on the picture and select "copy image address"(circled in pink), then paste it into the "pink text here area
done correctly, it should look like this:"

Also, try to build the initial structure with the semi-circle roof, then add the plain cylindrical connects for the spine thingies.
Use a window or 2 for the top mouth looking thing, and add more of those spike details in between each spine
