About Me
Hey guys my name is Michael Ferster.


I am currently a 4th year media arts major at the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, majoring specifically in 3d Animation. I also have passions for industrial design/ and also Marketing and business (specifically online). I work as a graphic designer and on the side I do 3d animation/modeling contract jobs for rich oil companies.

My favorite games have been J-RPG's ever since FF1. I also play way too much DoTA, if anyone wants a match me and my friends hang out in the channel "tex" in us west on some evenings. I used to play a lot of fps' back in the day (Which was a Wednesday, btw) but not so much anymore.

Favourite games:
Chrono trigger
Megaten games
Final Fantasy games
Defense of the Ancients

If you have any questions about doing stuff in spore or 3d modeling in general feel free to ask, and I will hopefully be able to steer you in the right direction in the least.

OMG SPORECAST: Final Fantasy Spore fun !
sylphx | 11:25 PM on 06.22.2008 25 comments


some Final Fantasy characters I recreated in spore magic !

CAITSITH!



CHOCOBO!



MOOGLE!



I'm working on a cactuar and tonberry next.

I'd appreciate any feedback I easily spent an hour or 2 on each one.


P.S. I cant make the cat portion of caitsith black do to limitations in spore's procedural texturing. I am also at the max limit of objects added to the caitsith model, I would like to add more but I am unable to.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Wow, that is awesome!

I had no idea that you could do this much with spore. I only played around with it for a few minutes and got confused.

Yah it takes some creative flair to get around some of the obstacles.

Awesome Chocobo!
Seriously this creature creator is like the best PR thing I've ever seen for a game. Always thought Spore would be "cool" but didn't really care initially, looking forward to it more and more though after seeing all the extremely cool character replicas people keep creating!

Thanks for all the comments.

Yah, unfortunately I cant choose the sounds they make. They are produced by which ever mouth you choose for the creature, and they all generally sound rather weird or annoying.
