I once made an animated spider:

However, the model was very crude and couldn't stand a closer look:

One day when I have time, I'd like to make a longer and better spider 
animation which also features a better spider model. I don't have the 
patience to make such a model though - I don't consider myself a modeler. If 
I could borrow a detailed spider model, I could make an animation that would 
show off both this model and the abilities of my Walking System... :) I have 
no idea when I'd get time for something like that though.

Hi Rune,

I know your animation well, and was imazed by the fluid motion (and this 
two or three years ago; I think) even the clip is quiet short.
I hope to finish the model this upcoming weekend, 'til I don't have the 
time during the week to do so. But once it's finished I will share it 
with pleasure (on demand, 'til file size is getting to big to post it).

Problem could be the posing itself. Maybe I create two versions of it, 
one complete mesh for posing in blender through amatures and another 
multipart mesh, which would make animation within povray a lot easier, 
even so the joints wouldn't stay a realy close look, but this could be 
comouflaged by clever texture adjustments I hope.

For my part I like to go into details but once I've finished a model I 
often don't have the motivation anymore to put it into context.
This nearly cries for synergy ....
