Attached Link: Evil Spider

Ok I ventured into the texture room last night and attempted to texture the spider. I was rather impressed with my results. I next need to figure out how to add details into my models tho. The spider is pretty basic but on my robot I would like to have a few poly's glow and omit light. I havnt got that far yet :) Since I liked how the spider looked I decided to give it a quick render so I could see how the light bounced off the texture. I will try to do another one later b/c I want to try some different lighting other than the default, but the default worked fine this time. I think I managed to grasp motion blur a bit better this time, but I still need to work on it. Also one of the back legs moves funny. This is a result of bad IK I need to fix. The eventual plan is that a robot will run past him and he will get stabbed with that leg...hehehe... cant wait :) Anway depsite that back leg I really like this animation...to me it almost looks erie when the spider sees you. I do plan on doing my test renders different from now on tho. My robot walker only took 2 hours (8sec 640x480 30fps) but this one took 14 hours at that speed. Also I was upgraded to a 9000 at work and it lost the ability to import jpeg sequences...well back to the drawing board. P.S. - Will carrara work ok on a NT system? Anyone know? I would like to be able to work on my 3d commercial at work but I I'm afraid of crashing my NT. http://brenthomer.tripod.com/spidertest.mpeg
