[Plugin] Teapot

thomthom

as a thought, can this be modified to be a 'make_ primitive .rb' with all the whistles and bells for all those incredibly repetitive, but slightly different components I keep making?

What bells and whistles is that?

I only used the existing dataset that was available for the teaset. But if you have bezier patch data it's easy to add more objects.

the UI, specification ability and progress report/warning.

I found a python script for hypyocoloids that I want to use in SU but have no idea of how to implement.

On seeing this, I thought having a hypyocoloids primitive would be very useful for myself and maybe one other person on the planet.

I haven't got anything on my mac that's been able to even test the py script yet.

I have scratch built one to try in SketchyPyhsics, but they need to be so accurate to work, I haven't succeeded (by using dimensioned geometry) yet.

I don't know if this [py] script uses bezier patches as I don't know what they are. I'll attach a zip so you can to have a look, maybe...

cheers

love the teaset.

it was zipped on a mac.

"hypyocoloids"? I find nothing when I Google that.

I have other links but on my way out just now so will check back and upload later if you want them

Hi tmtm

Are you introducing a new family of Rubies? something like "Nonsense Tools
I positively love it!

You are our very "english" martian of the place

we know Photon Mapping

Do you know "TeaPot Mapping rendering" ?

Extrude Edges by Rails + selection manager + selection memory + Weld + Component Stringer.
I've probably missed the simple way by a4chitect_SmartDrop!! let see.

is that a closeup of SketchUp's voxels?

That's it!

More seriously,

I'm doing actually my first renders and Teapot Tool is perfect to produce easily and quickly very nice models to render. It represents to me a very useful tool. ..many thanks.

That's fantastic Simon!

It was part of the VfSU beta testing I came to think of the teapot. It's always available to most other modelling packages. Felt us SU users was missing out.

Hey nice clay color, Simon!!! What color is it?

simon le bon

Hi Andrew (Utiler),

thank you!

I have made this Clay Render with Kerkythea.

Shadows On - soft Shadows Off.
Peripheral Sky with this little JPG (I think it is this one !?)

And also,
You can look for some Presentation Quality Clay Render Presets kindly linked by Fletch _ KT-Team in KT Forum. See his post at the end of the thread Here

Khai

which thread?
the link leads to the forums index...

simon le bon

hum! sorry,
KT forums doesn't work exactly the same as SCF..

Hope this will be the correct link:

Kerkythea Rendering System Forum Index -> F.A.Q. - How do I... -> Rendering with CLAY RENDER send me an error!

and Fletch's contribution links:
Download here some Presentation Quality Clay Render Presets- Unzip the files to your KT RenderSettings folder (...Program Files\Kerkythea Rendering System\RenderSettings...) Then, Open KT and when you click the "Start Render" button, you'll find the new scripts have become new Render Settings under the "Settings" pulldown.

Has anyone any experience with Martin Newell's dataset for the teapot and the accessories? I'm still wondering why the spoon has a bad vertex. Corrupt data set? Is the original like that?

Hi thomthom

May be this dataset of Newell teapot mathematical model (taken from Wikipedia_Utah Teapot)will make sense to you (as it is Chinese to me)
originaly: Original data set (tgz)

And these pictures from the Computer History Museum

Utah Teapot
c. 1974
Melitta, United States
Gift of Martin Newell, X398.84

Originally purchased by graduate student Martin Newell in a Salt Lake City, Utah, department store, this ordinary teapot became a famous model used by many pioneers of the computer graphics community. Researchers developing rendering algorithms for texture and shading tested them on the data that described the teapot’s shape. The actual teapot is about 30% taller than many of its computer-generated images because the data was originally recorded for the rectangular pixels of early displays.
