Spore and background Tutorial

1. Find the background you want to combine with your Spore creation
(in this case, I went into UT3, went in spectator mode and took the screenshot).


2. Select, edit or create a creature you want to be in the background.


3. When you're done go to the empty background area and capture the creatures position you want.


4. Go to the folder called "My Spore creations" and look for "pictures" (it should be located in your documents section "My documents").


5. Block out unwanted content such as the HUD, Place the creature in the position you want.


6. Shade the creature to match the lighting position in the background, add certain effects such as reflections and glow effects.


7. add advanced lighting, lens flare, slight blur effects, add a border and you're all done! ^_^

Made by using: Spore, UT3 and Photoshop

PS: if you ever make a Spore pic using this technique, can you post a link to it on here for me? I'd love to see it ^_^
