Mechanical Volvo CE spider excavator

Everything made in Blender and rendered with Eevee.
Each leg has an IK constraint to individual leg targets that do not follow the rig. The rig is otherwise parented to the superstructure, which in turn is set to follow a fairly straight path, while the IK targets are hand animated into a walk cycle. Only physics simulation is of hoses that are set up as (very rigid) cloths. The brief real footage was a very quick job done with Blenders built in motion tracking.

Very clever, and excellent animation! I'm reminded of the locomotive on spider legs from CHOO CHOO CHARLIE, and the G1 version of Scorponok from TRANSFORMERS ;)

Very cool. How much time did it take in Blender?

And now I’m disappointed that this isn’t actually a thing....

Dear Santa, I want one, IRL
But with 6 normal feet and a shovel in front, 9 shovel feet are a bit of an overkill, IMO ;-D
