     (...) todd.. you are an *extremely* creative (and sick) individual and i one day hope to have your level of imagination (and obvious free time) and your talent (or should i say "sociopathic tendancies"??? hehe!) J (26 years ago, 4-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.build)
    
         Re: SpiderWalker rides again! —Todd Lehman
     (...) Maybe I watch just a bit too much X-Files. :) I like the government- coverup episodes a lot, but I also like anything with gooey crawly creatures and stuff. I also watch too many PBS shows about creatures of the deep who can put their stomachs (...) (26 years ago, 14-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.build)

      (...) Allrighty then, here it is -- (URL) just posted it to lugnet.cad.dat as an MPD file. You'll need LDLITE 1.6 (URL) or an MPD->DAT splitter and LDRAW to view it. --Todd (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.build)

     (...) circular plates? Did you use cone light sources or ordinary ones? I bet it took a lot of experimenting before you got the scene like that! Oh, and by the way, to make the scene even more creepy, you can add some ground fog, or perhaps some (...) (26 years ago, 4-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.build)

     (...) Inside the round 1x1 plates. 1 LDU from the topmost face, I think. (...) Hmm, I didn't think of using conical light sources...it's been a very long time (~6 years) since I've used POV, so I didn't tweak the .pov file much. A conical light (...)

         Re: SpiderWalker rides again! —Fredrik Glöckner
     (...) Yup, that's what I use too. It's a really quick way to experiment with the settings. (...) With the ground fog, just remember that you need to flip it upside down. In LDraw (and L3P), the Y axis points downwards, which means the ground fog (...) (26 years ago, 4-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad)

        Re: SpiderWalker rides again! —John VanZwieten
     (...) Very cool, Todd. I'd use it as wallpaper, too, but it would creep me out too much :-). Have you considered raising some (1/2?) of the legs to show motion? Also cool would be a daytime version with the spiders "cloaked" a la Babylon 5. You (...) (26 years ago, 4-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.build)
