I've been tasked with animating the spider for our project....I hate spiders. I hate the way they walk and I have to watch videos on them walking so I can produce a convincing animation.
I am not enjoying this. Its freaking me out >.<
I looked at some simple animation tests to get an idea as to how a spider actually moved. It looks a lot more complicated that it actually is. After watching loads of videos I noticed that the spider moves its legs in pairs.
I liked this one because it slowed down half way so I could see what was happening. This helped in seeing how a spider walked.
This is of an actual spider. I noticed how it walks a bit then stops. Then walks some more an stops. its quite erratic. Spiders don't walk then keep on walking like a human they walk a bit then stop for a while.
This tutorial was really helpful for me and I learnt a lot from it, it helped to to see which legs moved when. I've never animated more than 2 legs before so this was a bit of a challenge for me.
