I was working at a big NY #VFX facility on the show #TheBlacklist and I requested a copy of #Blender be installed on my computer only to have the CG supervisor call me into his office to let me know he wouldn't allow it because, and I'll quote him directly (you'll just have to imagine the dismissive head shaking and indignant smugness): "We don't install random software here."

Suck it bro! And congrats to everyone who brought the film Flow to life and to the screen with your random software. 🤣

Ian Failes of before and afters has an utterly fascinating article about the tests to add motion blur to Phil Tippett's stop motion dinos for Jurassic Park. While I knew of those attempts, I don't recall ever hearing that they used MORF (used in Willow) to try to make the dinos more realistic. Eventually the CG tests paved the way for a #VFX revolution
