Slashdot have an article about Massive, the software used for doing crowd scenes in Lord of the Rings. Some interesting discussion there in between the requests for leaked versions of the software!
Working on the port to Windows was interesting. The source code is closely protected and we were very careful to make sure not a single piece of it got anywhere near the internet. It made swapping code a bit painful as it involved physical media when I would have been so much easier to just email it (but not safe of course). The code I have sits on a machine that never gets connected to the net just in case. I've not worked on a project where I had to be that careful with the code before.
