Hex Spider Project

This was a side project while I was taking a small break from creating the kitchen project I was working on at the time.

The idea came to me when I found a random image of this Metal spider online and I thought it would be a good way to learn the basics of keyframes and FPS within blender which will help with the project I plan to do after I finish the Kitchen project I was already thinking ahead back then but not always a good idea to do so.

Modelling the HexSpider was honestly the easy part of this project and I decided to make my own head for the spider instead of the one that was in the image I think it looks cooler this way.

After modelling the spider I gave it a material posed it from a T type pose to it actually standing on its own legs then added a ground with some texture.

The next step was to animate the spider and I wanted to animate it as randomly as possible by moving each segment in 5 Degree increments and I would do this for 30 frames since I was doing 30FPS.

Eventually, I had something somewhat believable however making it look perfect was not the point of this project and I know know that if I added bones and used drivers to make everything random I could have done it with less effort and frustration but thats what happens when you learn.
