<\/a>For decades, hordes of eager industry professionals have flocked to SIGGRAPH<\/span><\/a> to check out the latest innovations in CG.<\/p>\n

Pixar is a staple of the conference, offering the most up-to-date in rendering technology. Ironically, the biggest lines tend to form for a considerably less high-tech commodity. Eager fans have been queuing each year to get their hands on the latest Walking Teapot, a small wind up toy produced to promote Pixar’s RenderMan product.<\/p>\n

The official Facebook page<\/a> for the much sought after collectible recently posted a silhouette of the 2011 iteration of the teapot. In the image, a landscape from an early CG animation test can be seen. As trends have shown, the teapot will most likely tie-into this year’s Pixar film, so expect to see Cars 2<\/em> theming when it’s fully revealed later this month.<\/p>\n

Get your hands on your own Walking Teapot at SIGGRAPH<\/span> 2011<\/a>, running from August 9-11 in Vancouver, BC.<\/p>\n
