Spider animation by Bryan Beatty

Other spider animations are available on the WWW at:

The page also provides .FLI players for DOS and Windows.

This animation was generated using POV-Ray, an excellent freeware
raytracing program available via ftp from ftp.povray.org, or on the
WWW from http://www.povray.org.

I generated this animation procedurally, using custom animation
software I wrote myself.  To create a new spider, I just write
a short text file which specifies such parameters as body size,
leg length and thickness, stride length, etc., and tell it "Walk!"
The program then animates the spider, automatically making all the
calculations for placing the body and legs as it moves along.  For
more detailed information on how this animation was produced, there
is a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page at:
http://www.oas.omron.com/bryan/faq.html

I hope you enjoy the animation.
