Afghanistan Horse-  Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (2012)

This was the first time players had ridden an animal in our game and we had a number of technical hurdles to work through to make this happen.    While gathering reference, I spent time riding and photographing horses to make sure the modeling and hair/fur texture was as realistic as possible.   On the animation side, our team brought in a stunt horse to the motion capture studio to record the movement.
