While it is indeed possible to use spore models using the tutorial the texturing issues and the amount of Vertices, it has over 4 times as many as a normal civ4 unit, might make it difficult to do much with the models in civ4 without decimating which would render their textures useless. It looks almost exactly like it did in spore which is goodĪ few things I have learned from doing all of this is that spore is not really a good game to get models for civ4 from. After that there were still some holes in the texture so I just manually filled them in and then just used TeamColor to take care of the rest. Otherwise, choose Custom and specify a folder location and then click Next. If you don’t have a preference for which directory Spore is downloaded to, use the recommended settings. Agree to the terms of the agreement and click Next. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the texture files to appropriately in civ4 so I had to take the diffuse texture into GIMP and virtually remove the alpha opacity. Otherwise, double click on the file when it finishes downloading, and the setup wizard will open. It was indeed possible and not overly complicated, mainly because I already had experience with blender/nifskope. After finding it again and seeing that no one seemed to make any spore units for civ 4 I decided to go ahead and give it a try to see if it was even possible. I read this thread awhile ago before I started doing stuff with unit art.
