Oscar-winning visual effects designer Stan Winston has died after a seven-year battle with multiple myeloma, according to a statement Monday from his studio.

He was famous for his pioneering visual effects work, which yielded him Oscars for Aliens (1986), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1992), and Jurassic Park (1993).
