oh, ye the leg iea looks nice M.But crabs have 8 legs, just remember to add in those extra ones at the back tweak :)

I know i dont have to M... but if some1 suggests a good idea... why wouldnt i use it :D

Black Robe- i know ... but in the reference picture i have i only see 6...and even if there is one at the backi dont theink my model would look good with more legs.. it will be too crowded...

Good point though about the 6 legs.. crabberz do have 8 legs.... well... i think.. wait..eh, puzzling

AH yes see, i lived a lot of my life on the beach at my cabin.. where i played with these crabs a lot.. they do have 6 legs, some crabs do. THe biggest crab in the world is bigger than a car hey? If i can find a picture i will show it.

Wow, listen to this.. i got this from the guiness world records 1997 book. The taka-ashi-gani or japanese spider crab, is the largest marine crustacean in the world. THe largest specimen on record had a claw-span of 3.7 M (12 ft 1 1/2 in). :O, HUGE.

Ive got my encyclopedia open infront of me and the crab has 8 legs and 2 claws, maybe this differs between diffrent types of crabs.And, I have to see a picture of that giant crab! :O

Yea blackrobe.. most large crabs have 8 legs, 2 claws... i was just saying that its not the same for all crabs :). Anyways, the one hes modelling, should probably have 8 legs, as the majority to.. k, cya. about the picture, i cant find a piture of that large large one, but i can visualise it :P.. eek.

You guys are being too nitpicky. :p
LOL.

As far as I´m concerned the thing could go with four and I wouldn´t notice the change lol.

I found a page that shows what this crab will grow into :eek: http://www.extremeshorts.com/show8item6_print.html

hey M- yep you are correct! I did a pencil sketch- scanned it into PS- darkened it using the levels tool- copied it into the alpha channel- inverted it- made a selection out of it- made a new layer and filled the selection- and painted on a blank layer beneath it.


*whew*..... now onto modeling! :D

H!
