Visual Language 19: Form, Flow and Force research 2: Prince of Egypt (Chariot Race)

After watching the prince of Egypt again recently i noticed how good the animation is for its time. I wanted to talk about the chariot race scene because there is a lot going on and the way the characters are animated to react to certain movements of the 3D rendered chariot i found very cool. They move very smoothly when reacting to curves and slight inclines but still react to jolts of the chariots knocking together. Something very else that i found interesting was how smooth the animations for the characters were yet the horses seemed to be a lot choppier, perhaps they needed more reference for the horses animation.
