  • Horse objects. In the "Digital Horses" video, you get to see how the animators for the movie The Lord of the Rings create software objects to represent horses. In some parts of the video, below, you see that in some cases, horses are a collection of 3D shapes that are connected to each other, and move together around articulation points. This should remind you of how we built a car class around geometrical 2D objects.



  • The video below shows similar examples of 3D objects, and lists of 3D objects where objects have their own behavior (the same way that our car objects have their own speed and direction of movement).
