MPC LEADS THE PACK FOR 10, 000 BC

Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) has directed the new Warner Bros Pictures epic ’10 000 BC.’  MPC’s two main focuses were the ‘’Mammoth Hunt’ sequence and the ‘Giza environment’.  The team created the fully CG mammoths and the 3D Giza environment for over 150 shots.  The Mammoths were clothed in fur generated through bespoke fur creation and grooming tool ‘Furtility’ developed specifically for the project.  The MPC development team also enhanced their ALICE crowd simulation software to accommodate the behaviour of herds of mammoths, with special emphasis on their trunks and their movement when harnessed together.
