hello again.

i was wondering if anyone has seen a roach walk cycle. i am thinking a spider walk cycle could work however they have an extra pair of legs.

i have cp's camel spider which has a walk cycle that i am hoping will work maybe with some tweeking. i know there was another spider walk cycle but i no longer have that file even tho it is free on cp.

any suggestions?

thanx in advance

Just a thought...  You might have better luck finding a walk cycle for a six-legged robot (mechanical insect).  I'm pretty sure I've seen such a thing advertised including a walk cycle.

Failing that, it shoudn't be too hard to animate it by hand.  You can probably get by with moving only two angles (Zrot and Yrot) of the innermost joint on each leg. 

ockham that is great idea! actually both are and i certainly will try them. and i think you are right i can get away with some minimal leg movement plus the xz trans. btw the spider walk cycle did not work at all.

thanks again

btw once i am done with this project i will post the "tube" link for it.

thank you

so i looked around and tried a few walk cycles, failing. however i did discover animating this bug myself is far easier few y trans with the feet and body z tran- presto it looks fine, you were right.

 i think next time before looking for an "easy fix" i will try toying around on my own first.

thanx again
