Giant Spider

Phaedrus' Giant Spider

I needed a giant spider creature for a mod I was working on, and the only one that I could find was from Puma Man's Giants mod.  Unfortunately, the community warned me against using that spider because of its questionable provenance, and besides, I couldn't contact Puma Man for permission. The other spiders around, such as those in Qarl's Underground and the Creatures Mod, were apparently derived from Puma's spider.  Therefore, I thought I shouldn't use them, either.

So I made my own.  It was an unimaginable learning experience, both about Blender, the NIF format, Morrowind, and spiders.  What a blast!

I hereby offer this here spider to the Morrowind Modding community as a spider that can be freely (no permission required!) used without any worries about copyrights.

This is a modders resource.  It only includes the meshes and textures, no ESP; you need to add the creature yourself using the construction set.

INCLUDES: spider.nif xspider.nif xspider.kf spider_green.bmp

INSTALLATION: Copy the meshes into your meshes folder, and the texture into your texture folder.

CREDITS: Puma Man, for a creature neat enough for me to want one, and questionable enough to make me come up with my own. lidicus, for helping me with misbehaving animation groups. Oh, yes.  Will somebody please retexture this?  My texturing skills suck like a hoover on crack.
