Excellent they are really creepy!
How did you do it in the end, was it instancing?
EDIT- oh sorry, just saw the explanation in your other thread!
I like the way they move - they look light on their feet but still appear to be on the ground.

thanks witchy! there are some problems where some spiders dont seem to be touching the ground (and the flickering shadows dont help much but so far so good.
Here's another video, this time it's longer and has 200 spiders in it. Do you think that the movement is too "bouncy" someone just said that to me and i agree a little bit but if I make it less obvious then it gets lost in the final images....
Anyways here's the other video

Thanks Now I'll never get to sleep
This looks creepily good (is that even grammatically correct?). I don't think they're too bouncy. Spiders are a bit bouncy when they skulk across the floor (before I smish them with something heavy and, preferably, long).

I might have to disagree. I think they seem to be a bit too bouncy. To make it worse, it is being emphasised by the fact that there are a lot of them all bouncing together. :bgreen: :bgreen: :bgreen:

i agree with vampus... i had to see it three times... it's just a little bit too much... and the shadow makes it worser
but it looks really cool when the little beasts are walking around in my player

ok I will generate some more walk cycles and take away some of the bounciness.
the shadows are because I am just using one directional light to speed up the renders, that will be fixed when I do the final renders.
thanks for the C+C it's really useful

you might need to take out some cuteness out of them :p

I think that once I make them all hariy and get some nasty shaders on them then they will be fine... but I will bear it in mind
