So I got the game today and it's great. The graphics are fine in every aspect except when I try to edit my creature. It shows the parts and lets me drag them on but the part where the creature should be is all black. It's really frustrating because I spent fifty dollars for a game and I just want to be able to fully use it considering this is a big part of the game. Please help me out!

Thanks in advance!

Are you playing it on the MacBook in OS X or Windows? Virtualized or Boot Camp? Which GPU do you have? More detail, please.

Just so you know, Spore will run, but not properly on a MacBook with a GMA 950 GPU Under OS X, only Windows under Boot Camp.
 
Unfortunately I do have the GMA 950 in my Macbook running leopard. It's strange though because the creature editor free trial ran fine in mac os x. Do I need to buy a version of windows to run it through boot camp?
 
RE: Same Problem

I am also having the same problem. I bought it for my girlfriend and I's anniversary (2 years...*dances*) but I am also having trouble installing it on her mini. I tried the normal install, then I tried a modified install. I used the site http://www.tuaw.com/2008/06/17/run-spore-creature-creator-on-unsupported-gma-950-macs/ to modify the tginstall.plist to try to get it to render in OpenGL, but wasn't able to. Is there a way to run it from terminal with an opengl flag? Whenever I run games on my Linux box, this is what I have to do. It is an intel dual core, gig of ram, with the 950 driver. Thanks in advanced!
