Massive Attack

One of the mosts awaited scenes featured in href="http://us.imdb.com/Title?0167261">The Two Towers will be
the href="http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/b/battleofthehornburg.html">Battle
of the Hornburg, also known as the Battle of href="http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/h/helmsdeep.html">Helm’s
Deep. In this epic battle, href="http://us.imdb.com/Name?Jackson,%20Peter">Peter Jackson
had to recreate 50,000 fighters. He was aided in this task by a
software piece called Massive. The big difference between Massive
and older solutions for creating digital crowds is the use of
Articial Intelligence instead of simple physical interactions
(pool-table-level physics).

Although this will be a major battle, Massive will really be put
to test in the third chapter of the LOTR:

In Return of the King, the final film in the Lord of
the Rings trilogy, the climactic battle—yes, the Battle of Helm’s
Deep is just a run-up—is rumored to employ more than 100,000
characters.
