I've gotten many requests for the "teapot" database since I reported that I received it (about 20 so far). I've been responding to these individually, but I think the overall net load would go down if I reposted it. What say? -- -- Peter da Silva `-_-' ...!hoptoad!academ!uhnix1!sugar!peter -- Disclaimer: These U aren't mere opinions... these are *values*.

This contains the vertex data. It ends with a line saying "This is the end of the vertex data for the teapot." The following is from IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, January, 1987: "The Origins of the Teapot," by Frank Crow, Xerox PARC (from conversations with Martin Newell and Jim Blinn), pages 8-19. The article describes the origin of the computer model for the teapot which is frequently seen in computer graphics images. The article includes pictures of the original teapot, of a hand-drawn sketch used in modeling, and of many computer-generated pictures of the teapot. The article describes the history of the teapot, the modeling process, and why the teapot shape is interesting. If you are interested in more articles of this type, in more code or data (such as the teapot data below) or have code or data that you would be willing to share, please contact: Chip Hatfield,

Ok, now I've got the teapot. But what good will it be without a color mandrill to map onto it's surface? Anyone have the "color gorilla?" -brad -- Brad Parker Cayman Systems "Mama's little baby likes violent sex..." harvard!cayman!brad - from a song I heard on the radio.

Uh oh, sounds like time for a Sculpt-3D rendition of "still life with rocking-chair, Boing ball, teapot, mandrill, and unicycle, over checkerboard landscape with lens."

The "Utah Raster Toolkit" comes with a picture of the Mandrill. We
will shortly be posting an announcement of the new release (it's ready
for Beta-test right now). Unfortunately, if you don't have Arpanet
access, you have to send a check in exchange for a tape (unless you
can get a friend to give it to you free -- we don't prohibit that).

Are you talking about the famous Utah teapot? I have a program that generates it for a given spline density, and I've modified it for output to Sculpt 3D format. Amazing, huh? Maybe I should make a Teapot module for InterChange, so we can convert the teapot to Forms in Flight, VideoScape, Animator Apprentice, etc. :-) Seriously, I think I uploaded the Sculpt version of the teapot to People Link. Also, I got the program from the AutoCAD forum on Compuserve, it was written by one of the big technoweenies at AutoDesk, John Walker. I apologize if I replied to this and other people did before this. I use 'fgrep' to read news. Seriously. It beats 'rn' at 1200 baud.
