Very sexy setup for that era. As a kid I went to a computer faire near my hometown in the relative middle of nowhere and not only did I get to check out a Video Toaster, there were two guys there with an Onyx. As an SGI obsessed dork, I almost fell over. If I recall they used it primarily for architectural visualization. It was running a scene with trees that were two intersecting rectangles with texture and transparency maps. It’s hard to convey how cool this was at the time. Plus, that machine was in the $100,000 dollar range in 1995 dollars. Fun times. I’m bummed that over there years I lost the very slick printed material SGI sent me on their machines because I called up an asked.
