A spider.  Don't take this one too seriously, the leg movements are
completely guesswork.  Same goes for the rest of it, I didn't model or
texture after a real one except by memory somewhat.
This is only 60 frames at 240 by 180 res., the file didn't compress well due
to a moving gradient floor plane.
Get a shoe out and have a look please.

I can't judge the legs' movement, but it looks good.  OTOH most spiders have a
more circular arrangement of the legs.

Maybe do a whole array of spiders moving synchronous :-)

Looks very good. Remember that the legs move in groups of 3 (or was that for
insects?), two on one side, one on the other... oh, yeah, that is insects.
Ignore this. :) Good work.

Yeah, I think you're absolutely right about the more evenly circled legs.
Oh well, I made it into a scorpion now and they are arranged more like I
already had them.  Going to post that here as a bunch like you suggested.
