I like the big ones a lot. They all look a bit slow though and you don't get such a 'OMG a whole load of spiders rushing at me!' thing going as you had before as they seem more deliberate. I like the way they move.
In terms of environment something generally post apocolyptic (with rubble for them to climb over and emerge from behind) might be fun, or even just a kitchen! Be something very worrying about that lot roaming through a pleasant domestic scene and the contrast might work.

This is a very nice project man. I found a spider crawling from under my bed this morning, and decided to watch it to get ideas for you. I noticed that spiders tend to change direction quite a bit. Yours seem to have a set direction. It would be cool to have some randomly change directions, and have other spiders change directions in order to avoid the other. I would also like to know how you animated that(how did you get them to curve with the floor like that.)

Just an idea. I think the small spiders should be running then the bigger ones appear from over the hill, a few seconds later. Maybe pan the cam up a little...kinda gives the bigger ones a bigger impact.
Yeah, but no but yeah but no....

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets (or did I not notice it). Lots of spiders, lots of different sizes.
You might not like the movie but there's some good reference there for crowd of running spiders.
Looking good so far.

yeah harry potter needs to be watched again, I may head to blockbusters tonite and pick it up.
I've got a dilema now though: I was originally planning to render this with PRman (renderman) but now I'm not so sure cause it would mean learning a LOT in a very short space of time! The other option is my old "buddy" the default renderer.... i'm really not sure what to do..... any suggestions?
bearing in mind I have 6 weeks left to go on this.... :o
