Make your Spore Creations come alive into custom sculptures
Electronic Arts and Maxis have announced Spore Creations, a deal with Z Corporation that will allow Spore fans to order sculpted 3D figurines of their favorite Spore creations for $50 a pop.
Getting your creation is as easy as can be. Players simply use the Spore Creature Creator tools in the game to create their creature however they like using the hundreds of flexible drag-and-drop body parts for virtually infinite number of possible configurations, paint their creation and then they upload it to www.sporesculptor.com and place an order at a cost of $49.50 per creature.
And barring any “inappropriate content” (which includes any genital-shaped creations), which they will refuse to create, you can then have your creature molded into a unique 4-inches-tall sculpted figurine using Z Corporations high-definition multicolor 3D-printing technology that will be shipped out to you upon purchase for your proud display. 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.
“A ZPrinted Spore Sculpture will immortalize a Spore creature at any given time, or several selected times to document its evolution,” said John M. Kawola, Z Corporation CEO. “There’s a staggeringly large universe of 40 million potential creations that can cross into the physical world.”
Released to worldwide critical acclaim 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.
Crossing from the virtual to physical worlds is a popular trend in merchandising for the gaming industry. Spore Sculptures will be a dramatic addition to Spore T-shirts, playing cards and comic books. Z Corporation technology is ideally suited for this role given its status as the industry’s only high-definition multicolor 3D printer.
