:* 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.
