The Weirdness Of All The Maxis Creations Is So Fascinating To Me Thank You So Much For This I Love More

The weirdness of all the Maxis creations is so fascinating to me… thank you so much for this I love more Spore knowledge

interestingly enough you can sometimes tell the maxis creations used some kind of editor trick to be made. this is not at all comprehensive and is just some instances i found

-

some circular ga buildings, such as Base Warnstripe, are just positioned around the circumference of the building editor dais

another example is Silo Wall Rim

-

Toomer's back lumps are made out of just a bunch of limb segments

here they all are moved apart. seems like theyre using the limb segment at the base of thighstrider and qopazcoatl and that

-

the Uranium Gun on Armored Lifter seems embedded deep inside of it, alongside the Ice Cubeds (detail part) around the tower thing

but theyre all just attached to a set of Cubbys (body part) hidden inside of the tower thing. one of them also holds the Plasma Duct that the gun visually comes out from

-

the grox spaceship has a some interesting kind of part arrangements. like it uses stretched The Lozengators rotated diagonally. but for the most part its actually rather straightforward

something more interesting is going on in Chronathaumic Hornet, which uses orbeds overlaid with other orbeds

the Lander Capsule at the front also seems to be rotated to add more spokes(?) to the front

and the bases of the big Crazaphone tubes are sneakly hidden by one of the squished orbeds, so you can barely see them

interestingly or funnily enough the base is just a grey and seems like it wasnt colored

though i color picked it and it uses the solid shiny paint and is also slightly darker than even the darker right grey on the colorpicker. so it looks more like they picked this deliberately. anyway this ufo actually does a lot of interesting things wow

-

back to buildings, you can also tell something like Chains was made by moving the detail parts with ctrl and shift, as theyre not attached to any other part, and will instantly sell themselves if you try to just click on them (without moving them onto some other part)

shift was also used to move these parts inside of the building block part

then theres some absurd buildings, like Stone Skull, which is largely composed out of building blocks, which is a body part and thus has limited rotation

you CAN rotate them like that in the vanilla game, but that requires placing them on connectors and then rotating those, and then moving the body parts afterwards with ctrl and shift can be kind of awkward at times

its also a LOT of parts to do this with. did maxis make the stone skull in a version of the building editor that had more rotation on these parts?

Whenever I look at Toono's canon art I think about this one picture I have saved on my computer from 2020 so I decided to edit his art to look like it

Testing out new designs for two OCs of mine, Luna and Vetra! I wanted to just draw some very simple things in celebration of finishing my exams (for now) and get out some ideas I've been holding. I'll have to draw something cooler for them later ( ︶｡︶✽)
