Crab Worker

[Chaosium]

That's an unique concept, to say the least^^

 

[Direfury]

This is adorable. I love it.

Hey......that's pretty good!

 

[Misha]

crab worker.. how does that work?

crab worker.. how does that work?

I've seen numerous people using crab workers with normal crab models in their sea-based makrura custom races, so I decided to create this crab worker model.
These large crabs use their huge pincers for cutting wood, extracting gold and carrying stuff that they can put on their backs and that is supported by the wooden spikes hammered in by makruras into their shells. They are enslaved/domesticated by makruras and are specially trained to perform all these tasks.

well the 3 posts are a little flimsy support for whatever they're carrying, so.. maybe you could use a bit of a curved plane in between those, with the het texture, to make it lill more believable

with the het texture

het texture?

Here, I updated the model.

Update: Added the net between the wooden spikes hammered into the crab's shell.

Something is so very innocent about the way crabs move sideways ;F - cool addition!

(are we in for more crab models, a mighty crab race even?)

 

[aeman]

crab people! crab people!

 

[Misha]

fancy c: now its a great crab worker model

A crab-only race sounds unlikely. This is a worker for the makrura/sea creatures race. I don't plan making any more crab models, but who knows what the tides may bring.

This is pretty....

CUTE

4.5/5

Sorry for doublepost but how about a Kobold Worker?

It already exists: Kobold Worker.
It's not a double post.

Haha.Thanks a lot!

Back in the olden time I would have wished for such model to exist...

Good job and well done.

 

[HappyCockroach]

Looks nice and is certainly useful. A few issues to be fixed though:

• It leaves no footprints when carrying gold or lumber.
• In Decay Flesh, the crab mesh vanishes suddenly. (Probably it doesn't sink all the way across the ground before the end of the animation, so when Decay Bone starts, it disappears suddenly)

Awaiting update.

It leaves no footprints when carrying gold or lumber.

Added footprints to Walk Gold and Walk Lumber animations.

In Decay Flesh, the crab mesh vanishes suddenly. (Probably it doesn't sink all the way across the ground before the end of the animation, so when Decay Bone starts, it disappears suddenly)

The normal SpiderCrabCreep model on which this model is based is the same. I could change it if it is needed, but I'd rather leave it as it is in the base model.

Well, Blizzard makes mistakes and if you have the tools and knowledge to fix those 'bugs' you really should do it.

Crabtastically adorable.

Fixed it. The corpse now sinks completely into the ground during the Decay Flesh animation.

 

[General Frank]

Changes are made to meet the model section guideline.

This model is a nice addition and very useful for a maritime styled race.
Edits are subtle but executed quite well.
Good job.

 

[Skipper]

If I may, I would suggest using only a pile of gold nuggets instead of bag full of gold.

 

[Unregret]

This model is very nice!

 

[Kyrbi0]

Alok, you continue to impress.

 

[Turkey_Slayer]

Is there a special attachment point for the net?

Nope.

Delicious crab

HOLY CRAB! HOLY CRAB!! HOHOHOHOH-HOLY CRAB!

[Lone Adventurer]

Look sir, free crabs!

 

[Tryce09]

I found this model so silly that I love it!
