This thread brought back memories of what could have been a game-changer for Lisp in graphics: Whitney/Demos Productions.
This was a company set up by the founders of Digital Productions of "The Last Starfighter" and Cray XMP fame. Their system was based around a Connection Machine and Symbolics workstations, with development to be done in Lisp.
Unfortunately, they folded almost before they started, due to their funding falling through.
One can only imagine how that might have changed the 3D production landscape.
