ModNation Racers Walkthrough for Character Creation
Below you’ll find a ModNation Racers walkthrough for the character creation portion of this upcoming kart racer from Sony, which will extend the “Play. Create. Share” label that was originally used for LittleBigPlanet.
Like LittleBigPlanet, ModNation Racers will be a fully customizable, user-generated, community built racing game where every aspect is player-driven. You have complete freedom to fully build your own track however you see fit, as well as the racers and power-ups that will be on it.
You can then easily share these with friends or the world, and/or download tracks created by others.
In this first character creation walkthrough with Art Director, Rob Oliveira (aka Robo), he steps you through some of the basics of creating a Mod, which is just the tip of the iceberg that is character creation in ModNation Racers.
In this next video, he gives us a very brief walkthrough of the sticker and layering system in ModNation Racers. He creates something using one simple shape, several layers, and some color changes.
To quote, “Once you’ve seen what I do with one shape and a couple of layers, you can easily imagine what can be done with hundreds of stickers, and hundreds layers at your disposal. Our system allows you to move, scale, skew, rotate, flip and change the height and transparency of all these stickers. We’ve also created many “physical” stickers like rust, mud, and dents. Like all of the parts in our game, you can change the color channels, and material properties of each of these. I hope you’re starting to see the possibilities!
Don’t see that Chrome Dragon sticker you’re looking for?
There’s nothing stopping you from using one of many primitives and gradients as brushes to create it in the layer editor. Use the material properties to change all those stickers to chrome. Our layering system allows you to group those layers together, so you can move, scale, rotate or change colors as a group. Once you’ve created that Chrome Dragon, group the layers together and paste the whole thing a few more times, or save it as a Sticker Set to your PS3, for use later.
The Creation Station team here at UFG have worked really hard to make this system easy to use, but incredibly powerful. Whether you decide to create characters quickly and casually, or dive in and spend hours and hours, we know you’ll be able to create some truly unique and unbelievable characters!”
ModNation racers will be released in Spring of 2010. A beta for the game however will start on December 18th and runs until January 10th. If you bought a copy of LittleBigPlanet – Game of the Year Edition you’ll already have a voucher for the beta, but you can also score some in other ways like via various web-site contests. — Via PlayStation Blog
