And here's what he looks like without all of his stages behind him.

This is a screenshot of the scene I created in c4d. The spider was created in zbrush and then exported into c4d.

Great modeling work with the spider dyl.

I'm still in Blender... Now I'm just experimenting with hair.  I have the spider rigged so I can move him around. 
Crits and feedback are welcomed.

If your using a hair module watch out for long rendering times you might be faster painting them for a still.

Oh man! I've just stumbled across this challenge. It's more than half way through, so not sure I'll be able to come up with something in the time left. Darn shame, as it's a good one. All of the WiPs so far are excellent.

Ive started painting the 3d render guide in Photoshop this is where I am so far ,

You're probably right... I was more just playing around with it, because big hairy spiders scare me... But I think I'm going to go a different direction.

Here it is... Still lots of work to do!

My latest.  Still plenty to do but so far i think it has potential.

"what do you mean...I stopped thinking, therefore I disapeared?"

getting there now.. good to have my stylus back

this wip shows an updated spider, complete with hairy legs, though I think I need to thicken the hairs somewhat for it to be seen at this scale.

"what do you mean...I stopped thinking, therefore I disapeared?"

I don't think that I've mentioned lately that this challenge really creeps me out...
Stay the course, the spiders aren't real... They're just pixels...

Working with lighting... I don't know how to make webby substances on Blender, so I'm probably going to paint those in.

think Im done now... Ill leave it to ruminate a day or two and see.  if anyone spots anything they dont think works please feel free to shout.
