I'm making a little lo-poly horse for Spice Road so I did a quick 3D sketch in Curvy then reduced it down to a decent polycount for gaming with MeshLab (Quadric Simplification).

Oh yes :D To be honest this will be by far the most complex animation I have ever done so it will be quite a challenge. I'll let you see how I get on :)

Here is an animated version - The legs go crazy at full speed, so I have included a slo-mo version too!

[EDIT - Oops I had my video running in timelapse mode, so the gallop was double speed...]

And here is a go at the walk cycle:

It's early days for the animation - but the Lo-Poly model is holding up well under the strain.
I am planning for these to appear fairly small on the screen so they can be a bit rough :)
