Quote:oh, wow. It is entirely too easy to lose hours doing this.Tell me about it. I downloaded it, played with it for what seemed like a few minutes, and discovered it was almost 1 AM. Erk.
Keeping Starranger's comment about trilateral symmetry in mind, I tried a few things. Pushmi-pullyu designs don't work well because limb direction and movement is autobiased toward the "front" of the creature; some of the emotes come out really strange. Monopods (monolateral symmetry?) seem to work all right, oddly enough. Multiple pairs of legs work okay. And oddly enough, a completely unaltered base body will crawl around in the test drive mode.
Oh, and try this: stretch a body out long, attach at least two pairs of legs, then curve the spine so the "tail" hangs over and in front of the head. When you walk the critter, you'll see some odd animation artifacts.
