In the above article on page 90 there is a misprint. The word Showcase should have read SHOWPLACE. SHOWPLACE is a nod to the early days of Pixar.
Before Toy Story, Pixar went through several incarnations prior to becoming a movie studio, including selling software. In fact, Pixar's SHOWPLACE was one of the first consumer-oriented 3D programs for creating computer graphics.
SHOWPLACE was discontinued when Pixar chose to concentrate on film production instead of application development.

My many thanks to Barbara Robertson for her dedicating the time for our interview and writing this article.
Barbara is still actively (as of 2019) writing articles as a contributing editor to Computer Graphics World.
