Pixar’s walking teapots!
Their poster claims Newell modeled the teapot in 1973, which I'd never heard before. The SIGGRAPH trivia slides claim he modeled it in 1975 (when his dissertation was published). Some people claim it was 1976 (actually when Blinn’s paper popularizing it was published). Newell told me it was most likely early to mid 1974. If their 1973 claim isn’t bogus, I want to know what they know!
