How about "Texture Utilization Representation Device"? For short that would be...um...er... Never mind.

Modifying a previous suggestion:

"Aspherix"

Regarding this important topic we should consider that arch viz people sometimes express the need for an alternate test object. It's not being born yet, but some folks may be pregnant already.. so I suggest matching names for both.. Anna and Ortho..

[Nuno Faria]

On a slightly different note ...

Should we give this object a name ? There has been some suggestions in this regard.

...

Your thoughts ?

i just think it should have your name on it, or it should at least resemble you.
maybe T.AnBall or TBall or just ThomasBalls!!!

best regards,
nuno

I have to disagree with that. We arch viz people should be able to make the perceptual leap. Besides, it doesn't matter how a material is portrayed, it will be different in other scenes. Although I have seen several textures in the mxm's I've downloaded that don't tile seamlessly and that wasn't apparent on the widget.

Thomas, ...you killed the teapot!

, I never liked the teapot anyway

Oh yeah Leo, .....I meant it as a good thing. I'm sure we'll see one here and there, ....but it's time.

[Leonardo]

I remember me trying to kill the teapot, with the vase... but it didn't took off

we should standarize a Vase.. the "Maxwell Vase".

Lets make a competition (The winner will share the vase and we will standrize the upcoming new era).... I'm all for it

leo

Leo , ......brilliant ! ...what the hell you talking about?

easy
Vase are in style... teapots are not

We just need 1 vase... (The Vase) and from there on... no more teapots

[ivox3]

My dead thread !


Now I remember .... Sorry Leo, ....the vase thing hit a brick wall and didn't fare too well.

[j_man]

hey lets show some respect for Martin Newells Utah teapot for which we're indebted, otherwise we may have blinn shading, raytracing or even tea.

I have found the object to work pretty good for ArchVis of materials. In my opinion it is extremely universal. I have made a quite a few- check out my personal gallery under studies/simulated materials.

That is not the fault of the universal material scene by Thomas, that is the fault of the material designer and the textures they have either used or created that are not tileable and should be denoted as such in the description.
