Spider
First creare a sphere.

Copy & scale the body.

Select the polys for the legs.

Extrude holding the Ctrl boutton down (enabling you to exrtude in any direction ).

Same with the head. Extrude holding the Ctrl boutton down (enabling you to exrtude in any direction ).






There you go a VERY simple spider

Finished him of with some eyes(spheres) & teeth.


Hope this helps you out

Here is mine
What I did was basically create a cylinder for the body, extrude the top, resize the new polygon (make it smaller) and extrude again. When you reach the end of the body, you can select all the vertices of the tiny polygon thats left and weld them. So the body is basically this. Then, I made the legs, which were a cylinder again, extruded and rotated the vertices a bit for the feet and bent them to a spider leg. I moved the leg to the right position and copied it 3 times, moving the leg to the right position of that side. Then, I copied the entire 4 legs of the one side and mirrored them to get the other (merged it first). The eyes should be clear, just some spheres. The teeth (are those teeth?) are made similar to the legs.

Did I mention I absolutely do NOT like spiders AT ALL? I even fear looking at the creatures in this here thread!

Having said that, do carry on. Mr. Fletcher, do you have a closeup picture of that spider in the 3D view we could use for our gallery?

Fletcher's spider > *

It looks like a spider.

It's in proper proportion.

It doesn't have sloppy intersections of geometry colliding with each other all over the place in the body.

It has an even / clean polygon distribution.

Since everybody is having a go at creating spiders these days, I decided to wait a bit before choosing the best one for the gallery... (hinthint )...

how do i scale it ?

[elementrix]

select your object with shift and then in the right top you see the 3 buttons:
move - scale -rotate, now select scale and move your mouse over 1 of the 2d views and you will see that it will change in size

(* you must hold your left mouse button when moving in the 2d view)

you can also take a look in the tutorial section where you will find everything to start with DeleD. http://www.delgine.com/index.php?filename=deled_tutorials

[Mr.Fletcher]

You probably want to scale your objects and keep their ratio. For this, hold CTRL while scaling.
