The story of my first model baby crab

I started with a box and divided it up into 4 segments then it was all by eye from there on apart from my 2d cartoon drawing of a crab im basing the model off. Once i had made the finished model i then applyied a shellac red material to the crab and indivually added the colours for the eye and inner eyeball with the material menu. Im pleased with the finished model and may tweak or improve its looks if i have enough time but im really trying to consentrate on the animation and not the modelling.

Example Using path constraints

This is a quick example of how i used the path constraints tool. buy simply creating a object, then using he line tool to draw my path i wanted the object to follow. i then went into the paths menu and click apply to path this then snapped my object to the line and i further rotated the object using the time line to get the spinning affect with the key frame button.
