Додж как оказалось только что с покраски. Под капотом родая краска. Добрый дядька хозяин открыл капот и разрешил за рулем посидеть.А звук у мотораа...песня!:rolleyes: :D
 
Еще немного америкосов, и один очень интересный не америкос. :) С 1 мая всех!:D

Евгений (ZQi), спасибо за замечательные фотографии замечательного мероприятия! :pivo:
Шевролеты ваопче рулёzzz, особенно корейские :D

vm, не сказал бы, что она известней Utah teapot:)

Чайник больше знают программеры, а шеви - ветераны-дизайнеры, кто еще с досовской студии начинал. Кстати правильно - не ютовский чайник, а чайник Фонга (того самого).

The Utah teapot or Newell teapot is a 3D model which has become a standard reference object (and something of an in-joke) in the computer graphics community. It is a mathematical model of an ordinary teapot of comparatively simple shape, which appears solid, cylindrical and partially convex.

The teapot model was created in 1975 by early computer graphics researcher Martin Newell, a member of the pioneering graphics program at the University of Utah.

Newell needed a moderately simple mathematical model of a familiar object for his work. Sandra Newell (his wife) suggested modelling their tea service since they were sitting down to tea at the time. He got some graph paper and a pencil, and sketched the entire tea service by eye. Then, he went back to the lab and edited bйzier control points on a Tektronix storage tube, again by hand.

The teapot shape contains a number of elements that made it ideal for the graphics experiments of the time — it is round, contains saddle points, has a genus greater than zero because of the hole in the handle, can project a shadow on itself, and looks reasonable when displayed without a complex surface texture.

Newell made the mathematical data that describes the teapot's geometry (a set of three-dimensional coordinates) publicly available, and soon other researchers began to use the same data for their computer graphics experiments. These researchers needed something with roughly the same characteristics that Newell had, and using the teapot data meant they did not have to laboriously enter geometric data for some other object. Although technical progress has meant that the act of rendering the teapot is no longer the challenge it was in 1975, the teapot continued to be used as a reference object for increasingly advanced graphics techniques.

Ну и насчет программеров тоже ашыпка - знают о нем все)
Versions of the teapot model, or sample scenes containing it, are distributed with or freely available for nearly every current rendering and modelling program and even many graphic API, including AutoCAD, Houdini, Lightwave 3D, modo, POV-Ray, 3D Studio Max, and the API's OpenGL and Direct3D. Some RenderMan-compliant renderers support the teapot as a built-in geometry by calling RiGeometry("teapot", RI_NULL). Along with the expected cubes and spheres, the GLUT library even provides the function glutSolidTeapot() as a graphics primitive, as does its Direct3D counterpart D3DX (D3DXCreateTeapot()). Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard also include the teapot as part of Quartz Composer, Leopard's teapot supports bump mapping. BeOS included a small demo of a rotating 3D teapot, intended to show off the platform's multimedia facilities.

не, не будем :) просто шефом Нюэлла был именно Фонг, по заданию которого все и было слеплено. Я же имел ввиду, что "справедлиевее было бы называть..."

В списке отсутсвует "классика" - 3D Studio (для DOS) :) В которой не было дурацкой кнопки "создать чайник" - Йост не был таким пижоном :)
