Appears to have no coverage outside of passing references to him, mostly when mentioning RenderMan's existence. Not notable. DemonDays64 (talk•contribs) 06:06, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. He has a lot of patents [1], not sure what to do with that. He has been nominated for multiple Visual Effects Society awards including but not limited to winning an award in 2013 [2] for Outstanding Visual Effects in a Special Venue Project and a nomination 2018 [3] and I think there are more. More importantly(?), he has been awarded an Academy Award (in 1993, for science and engineering). [Here https://www.cgw.com/Publications/CGW/2009/Volume-32-Issue-2-Feb-2009-/Everything-You-Ever-Saw.aspx] is one source that mentions the Academy Award. There are a number of book references as well. I see a lot of sources that call him Tony or AA instead of Anthony. Anyway, there's a lot more there and I think an Academy Award is hard to overlook. I'm not familiar with the SNGs for movie productions and graphics software development, but I think this should be sufficient.Jacona (talk) 19:29, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • He's not insignificant as an author, see gScholar. [4]. — Jacona (talk) 20:02, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
