最初由Martin Newell创建的犹他州茶壶是测试3D图形程序的便捷对象。

任务是在透视投影中创建茶壶的线框图像。为了鼓励使用源代码应用程序，可以将查看和摄像机控制隔离开来，并从计数中排除。这样一来，可以修改参数和输入文件，并重新使用代码以生成各种图像，但是不必创建能够接受复杂命令行参数等的完整实用程序。寻求“黑客”的平衡。

参考 StackOverflow：Bezier修补程序如何在犹他州茶壶中工作？

因此，这里有三个子任务：

• 以原始格式读取茶壶数据。
• 使用deCasteljau拆分或其他方法细分补丁数据。其他方法是使用Bezier基础矩阵并评估多项式（标准参考，例如Foley和van Dam，Newmann和Sproull）或Bernstein基础方法（这仍然超出我的范围）。
• 将这些点投影到2D（如果该语言本身不支持3D），并绘制一个小补丁的轮廓，如从Eye点看到的那样，该点的视图以LookAt点为中心，并且其垂直轴与茶壶的垂直轴对齐（即，从有利的位置将其“垂直”绘制）。

假设从文件读取面向行的文本数据没什么大不了，那么这个挑战实际上就是动手使用Bi-Cubic Bezier补丁数据。

由于对背面剔除进行简单的常规测试是不够的（贴片并非都朝外），因此无需去除任何隐藏线或表面。作为线框，背面看起来应该很好。可以通过根据与眼睛的距离调整线宽来改善外观，但这并不是绝对必要的（我自己的程序不会这样做）。

这既是代码高尔夫，又是罗塞塔石碑。参加高尔夫比赛的答案应包括正常计数。但是，即使不是特别简短，也极力鼓励以非常规语言提交。

对于Kolmogorov复杂性爱好者，这里有一个更简洁的数据集，可以通过增加旋转次数和修补程序的镜像来重建整套数据集。在吉姆·布林（Jim Blinn）的“图形流水线之旅”中，利用各个补丁具有旋转或其他对称性这一事实，提供了一种更为简洁的生成方法。整个身体（或盖子）可以通过绕y轴旋转的单个Bezier曲线来描述。喷口和手柄可通过其轮廓的两条曲线来描述，然后选择中间控制点以近似于圆形挤压。

和一些照片：

具有一些有趣效果的另一个版本：

void setup(){size(640,480,P3D);}
void draw(){
  background(0);noFill();stroke(255);
  translate(width/2,height/2,70);scale(30);
  rotateX(map(mouseX,0,width,0,TWO_PI));rotateY(map(mouseY,0,height,0,TWO_PI));
  for(int[] p:patches){
    //beginShape(QUADS);
    for(int pt:p){
      for(int pu:p){
        //vertex(data[pu-1][0],data[pu-1][4],data[pu-1][2]);
        line(data[pt-1][0],data[pt-1][5],data[pt-1][2],data[pu-1][0],data[pu-1][6],data[pu-1][2]);
    }}
    //endShape(CLOSE);
  }
}

后记

没有完全打高尔夫球，但这说明了与deCasteljau细分不同的方法：评估基本多项式。用途mat.ps。
