Chris Parks is a 3D artist at Barnstorm VFX and a longtime Blender user. He helped make one of the most iconic shots from The Man in the High Castle using Blender but has also done a lot of post-viz work at Third Floor using Maya, including for Avengers: Endgame & Infinity War, Black Panther, Aquaman, and more. He was also the first person to introduce Blender into the workflow of Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, who creates Robot Chicken.

Well before that, though, Chris was first introduced to the world of 3D after receiving a copy of Blender 2.49b on a flash drive from a friend at a skatepark. Both he and Blender have evolved quite a bit since those days, and Kent sat down with him at BCON LA to talk about his highly entertaining story of bringing Blender to Hollywood. Listen to the full conversation here or wherever you get your podcasts or read the article on CG Cookie for a quick summary.
