Ace Mastermind is correct. Starship Troopers is the answer, or to be more specific, the Arachnid Warriors from Starship Troopers. They are the "grunts" of the bug forces and pwn some serious arse. Aklay Animations might be possible, but the skeleton (ie. the neck/head area) would seriously mess up the front end. IF you are really determined to use this ingame. Study how the sekeletons are setup and try to build a new one. Custom Animations will be a pain though, esp the walk cycles and the attacks.

Very nice model, but sharpen the interior section of the claws, which will also reduce the poly count as hard edges use less polys then cylinders. Also, the legs are connected to another section mounted below the body (similar to a tank turret mounted n the tank body), so a new poly mesh is needed. For the middle section of the body, you could probably flatten tthe ends out (the parts that are inside the rear and head) and use less polys that way. Still, all in all, very nice model.

Have you ever seen Starship Troopers? The "bugs" man! :wink:

@VF501
Hard edges are just a crease between 2 adjoining polygons to create a sharp or abrupt edge.

Yeah, thunder, don't give up, that's looking better. Modeling takes experience, I've been modeling for over three years.

O yeah, something I'm working on:

Haha, not tellin' what I'm doing, (modeled after ahto, not necessarily is though). Yeah and I need to get a new floor texture, and other texture things (can't copy off of k o t o r too much). Most of the texture here are actually bf2 cantina textures though :)
