Spider Animation

My fourth animation (unit 5) was the spider walk cycle using the Raa the spider rig by radheshatlar. After spending some time on the horse for the previous unit I wanted to try something else.

This was a relatively easy task in that once I had sucessfully animated one leg I could simply copy and paste keyframes on to all of the remaining legs. I enjoyed adding the overlapping bounce to certain parts of the rig.

UPDATE: Feedback from others on the course pointed out that I had forgotten to turn on the infinity curves that allowed the body to move in synchronisation with the legs. This was an easy fix.

Hi, my name is Alex, I am currently doing a masters in animation at the University of Hertfordshire. Before that I studied game design at the University of Wolverhampton. I have a passion for animation, computer games, 3D modelling and drawing.

I am proficient in Unreal Engine and Blender and have some skills in 3DS Max and Maya.
