Massive Software, based in New Zealand, develops 3D animation systems that are built on artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The firm's simulation programs allow animators to create film, television, game, and other scenes that feature thousands of digital characters. Autonomous agent software simplifies the visualization and creation of realistic crowd behaviors. Agents are assigned action and reaction behaviors. Agent reactions can control key-framed or motion-captured animation clips. Massive Software systems are employed by organizations across the entertainment, architecture, transportation, engineering, robotics, and education sectors. The firm's software originally was developed to create crowd scenes for the 'Lord of the Rings' movies. It also has been used to create crowd animations in 'The Mummy 3,' 'Leatherheads,' and other feature films. Massive Software offers customers the Massive Prime (TM), Massive Jet (TM), and Ready-to-Run Agents (TM) products. Massive Prime offers designers a node-based interface that supports the creation of customized AI agents. It includes motion tree editing, scripting, cloth editing, action editing, and other features. Massive Jet includes design workflow optimization and collaboration features. The Ready-to-Run Agents product provides designers with preconfigured agents. The agents include skeleton, motion, AI, geometry, cloth, texture, shadow, and control components. Massive Software offers customers the Locomotion Agent (TM), Stadium Agent (TM), and Ambient Agent (TM) products. Massive Software maintains additional offices in Thailand. The developer of firm's technology, Stephen Regelous, won a Scientific and Engineering Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2004.
