Stephen Regelous was credited as a 3D artist for DW: Partners in Crime, but this unassuming credited belies his importance to the entertainment industry. Regelous was the key developer of MASSIVE, a kind of CGI software that allowed for the depiction of huge battle scenes containing thousands of independently-acting characters. The software, and Regelous' own artistry, were honored with an Academy Award for The Lord of the Rings. Given that background, Regelous' specific task on Doctor Who was the creation of the crowd Adipose scenes in Partners, as in the so-called "March of the Adipose" scene.
Regelous flew over to Wales from New Zealand just to work on the Adipose scenes. He once said of his experience on Doctor Who:
...I was quietly hoping that MASSIVE might be used to create hordes of Daleks or Cybermen, and with Series Four, I jumped at the opportunity to be involved. It's been very fulfilling to be a fan from about three or four years old and finally be able to contribute to the Doctor Who universe.
