  1. Martin Newell modeled this teapot using bicubic Bezier patches in 1975
  2. as part of an entire tea set. It first appeared in his
  3. Ph.D. dissertation. Jim Blinn scaled the teapot horizontally by 1.3x
  4. to cancel the effect of the rectangular pixels on their display. The
  5. original had no bottom; most variations add one. Kenzie Lamar at
  6. Vicarious Visions created this version from the default teapot model
  7. in 3D Studio Max. He resized the top so that it fits snugly, created a
  8. shell and welded the spout and handle so that the teapot is a manifold
  9. without boundary, and created a unique and consistent resolution texture
  10. parameterization for the entire model.
