xSpore needs your help! We want the alphabet in creatures!

Okay so one of the features we have planned here at xSpore is a dynamic creature name generator. Instead of making people create their own letters and form their own words / names (which can take a long time), we're going to create a simple form where you type out any word (or number), and it will automatically output an image that has whatever you typed, represented by creatures..

Now instead of only offering 1 version of each character, we want to have it randomly pull from 5 different creature versions of each letter (uppercase AND lowercase).

So that means for the letter "A" for example: It will have 10 variations. 5 versions of uppercase A creatures, and 5 versions of lowercase "a" creatures.

We'll also want the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 (5 versions of each)
And we'll also want other characters like: ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - + = . (5 versions of each)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Character Creation Standards
There are a few guidelines you must follow in order for us to be able to use your character(s).

Here is the character creation process.

1. Load up Spore or the Spore Creature Creator.
2. On the main screen, go to your settings, select the capture tab, and make sure "Large" is specified for Pictures.
3. Create a new creature. Create the character you've taken the role of creating. Make sure it's unique, READABLE, and designed well! Make sure you paint it and that it looks good!
4. Take your character in test drive mode, change the background to BLACK.
5. Zoom all the way up to it as close as you can.
6. Wait until it's in a good pose (it moves around awkwardly sometimes as a creature), and click on the snapshot icon.
7. Save your creature.

8. Exit Spore or the Spore Creature Creator.
9. Open up your email client and compose a new mail. In the "to:" specify the email webmaster@tehnetwork.com - In the "subject" specify the letter(s) separated by comma that you've included in the email (you can attach multiple files if you created multiple characters), like this: "A, a, B, B, c, c" - in the "message" type your xspore username. Then...

10. Before you send, you need to attach the PNG file(s). Click the attach files button in your email application, and navigate to the C:Users - YourComputerUserName - Documents - My Spore Creations - Pictures folder. In the pictures folder you will find 2 versions of the letter you just created, one with a black background and one with a blank background. Choose the one with the blank background! It will be the largest file size and image dimensions.

11. Then click send! Report back to this thread with which letters you've created and sent and I or another admin will deduct from the pending letters list below.

You don't have to repeat this entire process everytime you create a new character. You can create a bunch of characters at once, and then send them all at once.

Choose which character(s) you want to do. You don't have to do all 5 variations. Do as many or as few as you like! Once you figure out what you want to do, before you make them, post a response stating which letters you're going to do, and how many variations of each.

While this is a huge list and a daunting task, those that help the most will be rewarded with some $!

If this doesn't work out, then that's fine. Myself and xKarma will have to do it ourselves :[ But figured it'd be worth seeing if xSpore would be willing to help. The end result will be really cool.. like this: http://spore.anime.dk/Necrox-sig.png

Thanks!

Hey Dreamanche

,

Sounds good! I think once the servers are a bit more stable and people have played a bit you will get hordes of submissions, I will give it a try once I get my account buddylist sorted but I aint really artistic

Would rather see what others put up first hehe

BTW I see your site is rocking with posts lol + I can personally say the game has been great thus far so expect more to come I think hehe
