The Simple Horsewas done in 2013 for Delapost Paris.

The brief was to do a simple Horse that could be photorealistic for commercials.

You can also Smooth the Character or not

The POS main object

You have here some main option to setup :

• The global scale
• The secondary object visibility (Muscle for instance)
• The mode of display (boxes for feast playback or muscle)
• The mode as biped / quadruped and some meshes options for extrems shapes.
• Under the pos, You FLY and ADJ object. They are just childs

The Spine

Here the spine is a simple one. Either Fk or Ik. That was a request from the animator to keep it simple as possible

The Ears, Tail and the dynamic

The ears are in Fk mode with the Puppet Soul Dynamic type as ‘Muppic’. This is a dynamic using only usual maya node.

Muppic is done to be easy to set for animator and speed up the overlapping animations.
