Description:
A spider drone-robot-type thing I decided against using for my next movie. I ended up going with a more humanoid design (which'll be posted when it's textured :) ), so here's the spider. It's not textured, but it does have materials. In addition, it's fast-rendering, with a streamlined poly count. It's fully rigged and has been simplified to get a full range of motion (including the tubes and wires, etc) out of five visible bone controls. Again, this is a model I decided not to develop further, so I apologize if it's not up to my usual standard. :(

very cool model, thanks for sharing. If I should have some time I style it my typical style with white panels and black highlights, improve topology, and expand the rig.

I have a question about the bone controls: How do you get the legs to bend properly with only one control at the end of each? Is there a tutorial you can give me the link to? Thanks! Zack

Written June 01, 2011You may be confusing bones with controls. There are separate bones (I think four or so) on each leg; there's only one control on each leg. An IK constraint is applied to the last bone in the chain (the foot). Rotation is kept to what is mechanically correct through the use of IK degrees of freedom on the bones.
