The one 3d printed in 2009 was the first one printed out of ceramic. The first one 3d printed was in 1992, back when 3d printers were called rapid prototyping machines. It was printed as a test for the Advanced Machining Lab at the University of Utah when they received their first RPM. Somebody suggested using the teapot, since we already had it programmed in every available language, and we weren't quite sure what languages the printer would accept.

I love the fact that it is a "standard teapot." We should store it next to the kilogram standard so that we can always have a reference to what an official teapot is! Great stuff Tom!

As Jim Blinn (one of the graphics gurus of the university of Utah) describes it: no. The story is this. The teapot came into existence as a simple yet pleasing looking object to demonstrate the technique of bezier splines. One dayy, the guys had to do a demonstration (if I remember correctly, the demo was for some military) and to show the power of splines, they shrinked the pot hoping that the potential moneygivers would be impressed. Well, they were not impressed but the computer graphics group liked the "new" teapot better then the original one. Which is also the reason, why the spline description of the now called "utah teapot" has some "akward" numbers in it.

Back in the early 90s, for the home user it was still 'do it on graph paper'. I used "Vertek 3d-Ware", where you had to manually list all the vertices you would be using, then polygons. It was so crude that there was no z-buffering. The polygons were drawn strictly in the order you listed them, whether second should be in front of the first or not. You had to use conditional branching to detect the current viewing angle to decide whether you wanted to draw one group of poly's first or second. Most impressive thing I made was a USS Enterprise.

One of the best TYMNK ever.Like a great work of art or a musical masterpiece, this KZread video manages to use narrative and logical tension and resolution to the utmost effect. Let's start with this: The title. "The World's Most Famous Teapot" sets the tone. The viewer "knows" this is absurd. How can any piece of crockery, let alone a teapot, be famous? We go into the video sure that we know more than the creator, and we're going to laugh at his naivety, or scoff at another piece of internet clickbait. But no. With superb timing Tom reveals that we have all seen this teapot before. And that more to the point, it has been a critical artifact in the development of the digital technologies we all depend on to this day. We walk away at once delighted to have been made party to a hidden gem of technological history - but also slightly chastened for own secret prejudice. Bravo.

This is awesome! I'm studying computer science and for one of my classes where developing a computer graphics engine and we've been given some basic objects to work with, a sphere, a cube and obviously this exact teapot, I had no idea this was the reason, everyone just thought our teacher was a bit weird. Love your things you might not know, cheers from Barcelona!

I love it when you combine your amazing story telling and computer science! More of these, awesome video!

That is amazing. Thank you, Tom Scott. I appreciate you.

The reason people would remember the teapot in their head is that they could remember the algorithm to generate it, not necessarily every single point to make a polygon object, but to make, what they call, a Nurb surface object. Remembering the exact quadratic, sine, cosine mix, to create points along curves to build the teapot. Makes it a lot easier than remembering every single point on the surface. Math to make art, I love it!

Never thought I'd get so interested in a video about a digital teapot. Endless stream of quality content on this channel!

The Utah teapot was used in my graphics programming class from start to finish. The final project is basically a scene with the teapot colored with your custom shader.

Not quite the most famous: that one had "Dome" after it.

Considering all the scandals just from the Trump years, the Teapot Dome scandal seems so quaint.

You just brought back so many memories of learning to program in 3D. We practised with these very teapots.

I shared this on my facebook today- to my daughter who is studying to become a software/ games dev ( particularly the art side) and to a long time friend who has works in IT marketing for EVER.

Error 418 anyone?

+John T. DiFool No... That was right... Error 418 is "I'm a teapot"... An April fools joke by IETF. Also, yes, it's poking fun at this same teapot. But yeah, in the realm of HTTP errors, 404 (Not Found) has had a bigger cultural impact, just because of how often it's encountered. The second most impactful I think would be 411 (Length required), just because of the unintended sexual reference.

***** Huh... I hadn't heard about the "Trojan room coffee pot", and reading a little bit about it now, this might be a reference to BOTH the Utah teapot and the Trojan room teapot. On the one hand, there's the common theme of interacting with a teapot, but on the other hand, pretty much all references to the status code online feature the Utah teapot as a visual aid.

Ironic, isn't it? The "Utah Teapot" is world famous, and all the Mormons in Utah aren't permitted to drink tea.

Awesome video. I work just up the street from there, but never noticed the teapot in the museum. I'll have to stop back and check it out.

This is super cool! I always wanted to be an animator as I was growing up (not something I followed through with), and now I live in Utah. This was definitely a thing I didn't know, and now it's made my day.

Good old Utah Teapot, back 15-16 years ago when OpenGL 1.3 and GLUT was all the rage :) glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glLoadIdentity(); glTranslatef(0.0f, 0.0f, -5.0f); glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0); glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, checkersTexId); GlutTeapot(); glutSwapBuffers(); But also remember the Standford Bunny and Standford Dragon! Get them from the Standford model repository here graphics.stanford.edu/data/3Dscanrep/ :-)

Clicked the link in the description ... got 418.

Error # 418.

I have many fond memories of that teapot from when I studied computer graphics as an undergrad student.

This was a great video and a riveting story

DO I LOOK LIKE I KNOW WHAT A JPEG IS???

You forgot to show how you/they know it is the world's most famous teapot. So how many people from each country were used in the study in order to know that exact teapot is the "World's Most Famous" ?

Is this supposed to be a joke?

That's really interesting!! I love learning about how programmers and artists used computers when that sort of technology was just starting out.
