Description
I'm working on a marching stag beetle, this picture is an animated GIF which should show you how it moves. It's not quite there yet, (even though I am going for a robotic look, so it can march in time to music.

Don't know how its done but it's Extremely cool!!
Not bad! The model looks great and the texture is close to perfect! Insect walking cycles are prety hard to get a hold on, but you're close, very close even... Speed up the movement between touchdown and release a notch and you're all set!
Maybe move the head a little and pivot at the uppermost leg segment where it connects to the thorax? Needs more work to be convincing. I'm also guessing legs should be posed differently for climbing, walking, and running. There might even be some web videos on insect locomotion if you look around a bit.
Great job!
Fantasic I really like it,the modling is good too!
