Computer Clan @computerclan.com · 17d Have you ever wondered why there's so many identical-looking teapots in The Amazing Digital Circus? It's a reference to the "Utah teapot" which is a "hello world" model in 3D graphics. Look it up! It's neat!

Another fun fact, the OpenGL and DirectX graphics APIs used to have a function that would draw a Utah Teapot to the screen. The Teapot was also in the Windows XP 3D Pipes screensaver and would appear as a connection between pipes iirc.
More Utah teapots!
Quite an interesting detail! Immediately brings back vibes of old days when 3D graphics was still in its infancy and just gaining momentum.
