Spore creatures rendered in Maya

Here are some test renders of Spore Creatures, done in Maya using mental ray.

We have a nice exporter that exports out the skinned, rigged meshes along with all of the textures (normal maps, specular, diffuse, gloss, etc). Here I'm plugging all of those textures into mental ray's subsurface scattering material and using depth of field to make the creatures look like little realistic toys.

    I'd love to, but I'm not sure what the plan is. I'll keep you posted.

    I'm really happy to say that we just put out patch 5 for Spore, which in addition to asymmetry, also allows you to export your creatures to Maya (or most any other 3D program) in Collada format:
