Teapot

The Utah teapot, or the Newell teapot, is one of the standard reference test models in 3D modeling.

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. It was one of the first to be modeled using Bézier curves rather than precisely measured [From Wikipedia].

Properties of Teapot

Height Defines the full height of the object
Subdivisions Defines the number of subdivisions for orignial Bézier patches. 12 is default value
Body
Handle
Spout
Lid
Toggle the checkboxes to enable/disable the different teapot parts. By default, all are on, producing a complete teapot.
Gen UV Generates coordinates for applying mapped materials to the teapot.
Main Axis Gives an ability to select the object’s initial orientation in space, without using transformation matrix. .
