Snazzy: 3D Glasses RenderMan Walking Teapot

News Pixar RenderMan

I didn’t do a very good job covering Pixar’s presence at this year’s SIGGRAPH but I did stumble upon something I think you guys will love.

As you may or may not know, each year since ’03 Pixar’s RenderMan has given out a limited amount of walking teapots at their booth. This year’s release celebrates the studios’s first feature film in stereoscopic 3D. Naturally, the wind-up china is wearing anaglyph glasses; the box itself is even in 3D! 

You can learn more about the RenderMan walking teapot tradition in this article from SIGGRAPH. Visit Pixar’s special page dedicated to the wind-up toys for more including downloadable wallpaper and a gallery of fan photos.

I don’t own any of these but I’m wondering if anyone here has a collection. Please tell us about it in the comments!
