Marc Miance was born in Meulan, in the suburbs of Paris. He developed an interest in computer-generated imagery (CGI) and video games at an early age. He studied at the ESRA school of cinema where he specialized in computer graphics, but dropped out after 2 years.

Attitude Studio created Eve Solal, an entirely computer-generated realistic character who was intended to star in films, TV shows, and video-games. Attitude Studio innovated by developing an "emotion mapper" for the Eve Solal character, i.e. sets of body movements for each emotion triggered to make the animation less stiff, more human-like. He sold Eve Solal to the telecom company Orange for 1 billion francs the same year that it launched, in 2000. The following year, he showcased Eve Solal to ACM's Siggraph. From 2003 to 2005, he worked on several video game animations including Eidos’ '' Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness'' and Atari’s '' Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines''.
