The Cube [[Idents|ident]] was a raytraced spinning Cube designed by [[Andrew Hood]], comprising a red/green/blue cube made from shiny material spinning. 

Ray tracing at the time was a computationally expensive task. The designs (as at 2000) existed on continuous listing paper in the [[Techie room]], and were rendered on the department of Electronics computer over an entire weekend with massive output frames stored in various places around the network.

A Newton's Cradle design (with the letters Y-S-T-V in place of the familiar stainless steel balls) was produced via the same method.
