I was a teenager in the mid '90s. My now-deceased uncle (who was an industrial designer by trade) took me to a local design agency. They had just recently bought some SGI workstations - Indigo2s I think - and the owner showed us how they were manipulating complex (non-textured) objects in realtime with Maya. For someone who had basically only done gaming on home PCs up to that point, it was pretty mind-blowing.
