  • A milestone in game engine development: rendering the teapot.
    • The first milestone is "first triangle."
      • A single triangle rendered on screen.
    • The next milestone is "first teapot."
      • Render a 3D object, lit and shaded.
    • When you render the teapot, people see the teapot.
    • But the demo is that you made the system to render the teapot, not the teapot!
    • They understand what they see, not how it works.
