The goblin is pretty good for the amount of polys you put in it, and the spider, whether you meant to or not, is set up pretty well for rigging (in that your joints will have pretty good deformation). Not bad. For whatever you model next, try getting lots of reference (maybe even set up an image plane). Keep up the good work.

and the spider legs where ment to have the cuts to deform when rigged i pretty much know the basics for riging and skinning it but never actualy done it, and for a game model not sure bout how to do it just rig it and the program its used in set animations or build in several small animations that the program takes from the total animation to use

The spider is good :)

However, the body of a spider has only two segments, not three.
Not sure how close you want it to be like a spider from the real world though :)

I think 336 trianges is too few for goblin, with 2x more polys animations would look better.

If I understand You correctly - if you plan to test those models in CrystalSpace (or PS) You need to prepare several independent animations of the same model/skeleton. It also depends on what modeling/exporting app You will use.

But easily noticable. Nice work!

I like that spider. Looks... venomous.
