Here is a video recorded from VR. As you can see, the spider is crawling on a rock in real-time.

Here is the same asset in real-time. It was animated and rigged in Maya.

Ever wondered what a spider would look like if it hit the gym and embraced a sleek, cybernetic aesthetic? Wonder no more! Meet BlackwidowAI, my homage to all things insectoid and beautifully mechanical.

Inspired by the master himself, Justin Gershenson-Gates, this digital arachnid was meticulously crafted in 3D Rhino and Maya, with textures so real you can practically feel the metallic sheen. But don't be fooled by her good looks - BlackwidowAI was built to move, with a fully rigged animation system ready to unleash its eight-legged fury on the digital world.

This project started as an RND for hard-surface modeling, but it quickly morphed into something much more: a testament to the power of creativity and a celebration of the often-overlooked beauty of the insect world. So next time you see a spider, take a moment to appreciate its intricate design and imagine it as a high-tech, butt-kicking machine. You might just see the world in a whole new light.

And hey, if you need someone to exterminate some pesky digital bugs, you know who to call.
