STATUS: OFFLINE

A few weeks ago, I put the final touches on a clockwork spider, for an open-source project. I've since decided to do a short animation for it, and have been constructing a steampunk-themed setting for it since. If you'd like to come see my work in progress via Livestream, feel free to drop in!

Some progress shots:
Mechanical Curtains
Curtain Gearbox
In the corner
Entertainment Center
Television
From the Kitchen
Spider on the Coffee Table

Sample Animation:
Waking up
Gray Room

    Oh wow :o that looks really nice ^^
    Just noticed at the end it gives a more yellow-ish instead of gold-ish look.

    Anyway, the movements look good and the sound effects fit in ^^ Hope to see more soon ;3

    Negative, it has exactly as many legs as I intended. "Spider" is simply the most apt description I can give it.

    Thanks for the comments, folks b:thanks
    Learning a lot in the process... most particularly, that it takes a while to animate something properly.
    Also kinda kicking myself, that the motor sounds in Gray Room seem somehow out of sync, but not sure what I could do to fix that.
