Found these guys on a wall in my garden. I think they’re wolf spiders? so cute

I’m working on a spider for my horror game and really want its movement to feel grounded and believable. I built a fully procedural walk cycle using IK and some fancy math, and I’m trying to dial in the motion so it actually feels like a real spider moving.

Would love some expert eyes on this.
Does the movement read as authentic?
Are there any small nuances or behaviors I should add to make it feel even more lifelike?

Hi all!

Sorry if this is the wrong sub BTW.

So I am very afraid of spiders and they scare me when I see them in real life, but I don't want to be.

I've been looking at pictures of jumping spiders (I think) and their cute little eyes and its honestly helped me a ton!

Today I even saved a spider that found its way in my room without freaking out.

He was a very good fellow and I released him outside by tomato plants. I didn't think to take a picture, but he looked very close to my artistic render.

I know I'll never like the feeling of touching them, but I just really want to be kinder to little critters.

So! If there are any cute/cool spider pictures or facts you can share to help me appreciate these little bros, that'd be super appreciated!!

EDIT:: the spider I saved was probably a wolf spider based on the pictures I've seen. Is this important? Not really. But I'm sharing anyway

Here are some photos of the spoods I’ve had over the years. To date, still have the caribena versicolor (Mysterio Inque) and Cheez Whiz the p audax.

Saw something crawling around the frame of my TV all during episode 7 only to realize its just Ben’s cousin enjoying the show.

This is Webster! He’s my biggest of 5 tarantulas. hangs out with me all day on top of his web hide. Super sweet little guy!

Here is my caribena versicolor, Mysterio Inque.

Beautiful orb weaver, I saved this one that was walking around on the beach near the water after a boat ride... took it home, and now going to put it in my backyard. I have a ton of these spiders already, but the more the merrier!

My mom used to hate these guys, but now I'm forcing her to love them 🥰 they are great pest control and so cool to watch them eat!

Days the photos were taken in the order they appear:

June 24 - June 24 - June 29 - July 3 (10am) - July 3 (7pm) - July 3 (10pm)

Very cool to see the process in person 🥹

Which one is your favorite?

Snapped a spider finalising thier web

Found this spider bro in my kitchen. Anyone got any details? I wanna learn about it (like is it male or female? Any cool facts?)

Preliminary searches say McCooks Split Wolf Spider (Schizocosa mccooki). It looks terrifying but I’m trying to get over my fear. Was released outside.
