I read in Paul Duncan’s The Archives that Larry Cuba worked on the A New Hope death star cg. He tells how hard was the task, as he had to work 20 hours per day at some point to make the visuals before the deadline. And funny story, he actually crashed the computer the day before, was desperate and unplugged the AC in the room to get some sleep but that actually allowed the computer to work out the simulation.
