Utah Teapot (Newell Teapot, 1975) Creator: Martin Newell (University of Utah) Representation: Bicubic Bézier surface patches (original dataset: 28 patches; later commonly seen as 32 by adding a bottom). Quirks: No bottom in original; lid “floats”; early intersections not trimmed. Blinn variant: Scales Y by 0.75 (squashed). Controls: Drag to orbit · Wheel / trackpad to zoom Note: “Show Mesh Edges” visualizes tessellation edges, not true patch boundaries.
