Looking good - i liked the idea that it had a saddle though. Are you going to explore that at all?

nope not at all :)

another update

quick export , import and render test

Hi Dave,

What is the goal of your project ?

erm the goal is the same as the antbot and waspbot i made before, get them modeled and see what happens :). i have a collection of bugs in glass so im slowly working my way through them and maybe one day there will be a huge scene with them all in. there really isnt a BIG goal with them i just like modeling robotic insects :)

I think your model will be suit for game character and film animation character.

you mean stick it in a game?? It will have to worked on to get it low enough for a game, but i never thought of that and i never animate my bots although ive had it said to me on each one i do. so maybe one day who knows

Sure would not want to find these guys crawling up my wall!

The whole guy is coming together nicely.

thanks mate i should be able to finish it tomorrow so stay tuned for more updates

This will be cool. Cant wait to see it in the garage with the rest, silently sleeping before the big attack!

You might want to review the feet. In the render, to me something doesnt quite look right? Almost like tennis shoes. (But I may not be seeing the whole picture) Just not insecty enough. Friendly like.

Anyway, Very nice!

lol they do look like shoes i thought that after i modeled them. i might do a quick render with all 3 of them together now just for fun (even though this one isnt done yet :))

here are all three together

small update

Looking good Dave. You definitely do not suffer from arachnophobia! :)

lol but i do big time :)

A new Adidas campaign:

"adidas. The future in footware!"

Hmmm, well you certainly picked an interesting project for someone with arachnophobia! :)

Your updated arrangement of legs (8 now instead of 10?) looks better I think.
