I vaguely remember plot 3d. No one renders today the way it did. Cray was less than a PC with a decent graphics card.

Let me revise that a little bit.  There was a visualization of the rider's view of a roller coaster ride that ran on a Cray supercomputer.  The purpose was to demonstrate the capability and speed of a Lisp-based 3D renderer called Plot-3D or P3D or something similar.  Do you know what I'm talking about, Ed?

You should take it seriously but I'm biased.  I don't think PSC let's its supercomputers be used for eye candy.  They didn't when I worked there and they were accountable to NSF.
