Creation of the Battle of Five Armies

     The new Hobbit movie has seen quite a few amazing advancements in the Cgi Industry. The large amount of fighting soldiers required software that could simulate such a huge battle. Additionally the scene where the dragon attacks the town they made sure that everything affected everything. So wind from the dragons wings affected the fire, and the fire in turn affects the buildings, etc.

     I have never seen any of the Hobbit, or Lord of the Rings movies, but from the scenes in the video the Cgi looks absolutely fantastic! And from the software that was used to generate the battle is pretty amazing. The software behind the the battle "Massive" is also responsible for the zombie hordes in World War Z. This is very big news because of all the possibility that software like this is opening up. I cant wait to see what new action sequences this could bring about!
