Olsen) Organization: University of Utah, Computer Science Dept. Lines: 13 Just so I don't get hate mail, and you don't think your software is broken: The Utah teapot that I announced as being available for ftp was designed with a hole in the bottom. I had forgotten about this, but was reminded by someone (Jean Favre?) who rendered it. I think the reasoning behind this was that it helps when you are checking things like front/back facing polygons and such on a new piece of rendering software. It *is* a test image, after all. :^) /| | /||| /\| | John M.
