Melitta Teapot

Isn’t this the sweetest teapot you have ever seen? (and yes it is real, no CG here)
If you have ever used an appliction that does 3D renderings like 3ds Max then this teapot is pretty familiar to you. It is known as the Utah Teapot or Newell Teapot and was originally created as a benchmark to test out different rendering engines.
If you are not familiar with it, you still might have seen it if you were looking for it. The 3D version has made cameo appearances in Toy Story and Monsters, Inc.
The actual teapot used to create the original 3d model now resides in the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. I got mine off ebay, w00t!
And here is an example of the standard object built in to 3ds Max:
- Work , 3D , Photos , technology
Did you used scanline with MR , seem blotchy?
