LogInGet stick bugged in 3D.
Boycraft, a talented 3D Artist, Animator, and digital entomologist, has once again expanded their collection of realistic-looking insect models, showcasing an impressive rig made for a model of Extatosoma Tiaratum, a scorpion-looking stick bug endemic to Australian rainforests.
As noted by Boycraft, they made a special physics engine and dampened the stability inversely proportional to the force applied in the direction of movement to nail the unique movements of stick bugs. "If I do this too much, it becomes like a spring, but I hope to reproduce the frustrating movement. It might look more realistic if it was a little slower," the artist noted. In terms of software, the creator stayed true to form and leveraged Unity to produce the insect.
And here's the entomology expert's excellent Extatosoma captured in AR:
Previously, Boycraft also demonstrated a 3D recreation of the Peruvian giant yellow-leg centipede:
Showcased a realistic Heteroscodra Maculata tarantula, also known as Togo Starburst:
And depicted the tarantula battling a weta (a giant flightless cricket):
