Spore character design tool

Video presentation of Spore shows a procedurally animated game that allows you to build 3-D characters that possess behavior, such as “monkeys with guns” that wander around in procedurally generated 3-D worlds. Looks like way more fun and creative, faster and crazier than rotoscoping. Playing with artificial life, is sort of the opposite of tracing previously filmed live action. I guess if you generate a really great scene in Spore, you could record it and then rotoscope it, if you really enjoy doing that sort of thing.

Description from Google Video:

Will Wright talking at the 2005 Game Developer’s Conference about ‘Spore‘, which looks like it could possibly be the best video game ever.
