One of our affiliates Planet Spore has a picture of what may be the Creature Editor in the game. It's unofficial, obviously, but it might give us a glance at what the game may hold in store.

SWEET that loks realy cool thanks ace.......

Oooo it looks like it has potential....like they give us lots of leeway.

HECK YES! i cant wait for spore! (i can but im excitd)

Yes, it seems to bring in a LOT of options...I hope it's easy-to-use!

im sure it is as ethir wright made the tripod easily or made it look easy in my opinion the only hard part in the game is chooseing what you want your creature to look like and make it what it does............ also in the gdc video wroght said that some of the best games are the ones that ppl can just pick up and play...... and he also said that is what he learned from........

Very true...let's hope he lives up to it...

But that screen seemed a bit...dev style. Perhaps they'll have the same options, but in a cleaner format like in the Sims 2.

I have this thing that it seems like they'll take a lot of things from TS2 because of how wildly popular it is - and transform it 'Spore-ish".

first of all what do you mean dev style and even more cleaner format? secondly what is this thing that your talking about that you say is spore-ish?

I think I would pay just to play with a beta, even if it was buggy and limited.

it doesn't really look like the editor at the GDC
it looks like a modelling program
unless that bar is some sort of command console for the devs?

on second look: if you look at the top you clearly see "game-like" buttons
i think the bar may be a simple version of the texture editor WW siad was not implemented yet

would anyone like to comment on this toolbar?

You guy's realize that is a Developers Tool and wont be an End User creature tool.

it looks like the tool is in some sort of a debug mode ( to detect crashes and bugs in code)
you can see the top bar showing the editor options but if you look carefulltm there are gridlines
this suggests to me that it is some kind of a modelling program or an early version of the editor

Those lines are the XYZ axis. It's really a skinning application though.
