Well, what is it? The only way I know of would take months because of the many hundreds, possibly thousands of sprites per breed! Is there any way to make a breed faster than this?

Welcome to Creatures Caves Gandrayda.  Is your question about the quickest way to make the sprite set for a breed? The forum cuts off titles after a certain length, so some of your question didn't make it. I'm not an expert on this by any means, so please just take this as a starting point. I gather that some folks model a norn figure in Blender or a similar program. There's a tutorial available for Poly modeling a norn head - I gather it's the most difficult shape in a norn. If you have the Poser program, Bloodsong's Basic Norn model is already available for use. Typically, I gather one of the tricks used is to only create an adult male and female, and then grey the sprites for the elderly forms, and resize the adult forms to baby and child sizes. You may wish to join the Creatures Breed Development Team - I'm sure you could learn a few things from them. My TCR Norns |

Hey thanks Malkin! I need to say double thanks to you anyway for posting a link to my CV walkthrough at A2k from the official Creature forums since I can't sign-up there! Anyway, what I mean is, What is the quickest way to give a existing norn a cheap hue to make things look cooler. Lol yeah, I want to turn a CV primrose norn to red and change some other things. Thanks again, in advance. [Insert Banner Here!] Creatures Adventures Rocks! Creatures Playground Rocks! Creatures Village Rocks! Well yeh you get the jig. |

No worries - it was a very good walkthrough. If you want to re-tint a norn breed, there are two ways to go about it - genetically, and via re-tinting the sprites themselves. I don't know much about the second, but genetically will still give you some nice variation. The absolute quickest way to retint a norn for C3/DS is to head to EasyGMS. I imagine there's not a lot of information out there for CV, but perhaps trying to hex-edit the genome files of your norns (with a tool for hex-editing) may yield some results, as it used to in ye olden days of C1.

doesn't CV use the same engine as C3/DS...? I was under the impression the official editors worked fine with it. not much data on the games available though. |

Sorry but I'm only 13, I barely understand anything to do with gnomes and stuff! I'm still actually having trouble finding a good CAOS word by word tutorial!  Anyway, I tried using heaps of C3/DS tools for stuff like that and it didn't work. Also does anyone know how to make norns die fast? Sorry for the load of Questions but I'm desperate! =D Thanks Again! [Insert Banner Here!] Creatures Adventures Rocks! Creatures Playground Rocks! Creatures Village Rocks! Well yeh you get the jig. |

ctrl+shift+c targ norn dead will kill the selected creature It may be wiser to start on much smaller spriting projects before embarking on a breedmaking endeavor. |
