An image of the utah teapot (a teapot partucularly known for appearing in 3D animated movies and computer graphics demos) displayed in a wireframe style. The wireframe is white and the background is pitch black. This is part of a 3d renderer I am developing in python for my school project.
Just 30 more hours of rendering and we’ll have our teapot.
A renderer in Python has to be slow AF
Oh yes it is. I improved the render times just now from 1 fps to 2ish fps, so it’s a bit better now, but yeah it’s really not that fast. Maybe I should use some compute shader library to speed up that calculation process… But then I’d be sending some data to the GPU, just to receive it again and then send it back again so that it renders it, so that would also increase frame time again.
me when i need a cuppa :3
It’s the default object in 3D S Max
It’s the Utah Teapot and has history going back to 1975, it’s one of the most famous 3D models of all time.

Huh?
http error code 418: “I’m a teapot”
Oh, really interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Seeing wireframe meshes will always remind me of this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0lIlROWro8
