What put him on my radar was his (Foundation Imaging's) on Babylon 5, He was a major pioneer in CG visual effects. especially in using consumer computer equipment in a professional capacity, making film-quality CG effects possible for television budgets and production schedules.
Huh, I didn't know he worked on Spaceballs.
For me using many of the same tools his people did at various points in their career, I'll direct you to my previous journal, and the video links contained within.

Rest in Peace Ron Thornton
No, but in all seriousness, may he rest in peace.
Rest in Peace Ron Thornton, you were one of a kind.
