[comp.graphics] Patch scene request

rabin@cs.qmw.ac.uk (Rabin Ezra) (07/24/90)

Does anybody have any scenes or objects described as bicubic
patches (any basis) that they would be willing to share? I
would be willing to agree non-disclosure if absolutely necessary.
I already have the Blinn Teapot.

Thanks,
    Rabin Ezra

I believe you'll find that it's Martin Newell's teapot.  At SIGGRAPH '89
he answered the question: 'Why the Teapot?'  Simply put:  he needed an
interesting (non-convex) object for display and his ceramic teapot
happened to be near-by, looking innocent and decidedly NOT (in)famous.
