Example: Utah teapot about ctbasic HOT 2 CLOSED

This is slightly more involved than I realized, the raw data needs some processing, see https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/22620/draw-the-utah-teapot

and the linked: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14558814/how-do-bezier-patches-work-in-the-utah-teapot

from ctbasic.

Simple pre-calculated outline generated from the original dataset, by taking the X, Z coordinates of the bezier patches. (the lid handle uses a control point for one corner because it looks better).

No bezier calculations have been performed here. it was actually easier to get the outline that I expected, but the model is obviously much less detailed. Pre-calculating a better model using more bezier points could be an exercise for later. Bonus points for doing the processing in CT (😆 !). For now this example serves the intended purpose of being a recognizable pre-calculated not-too-trivial image to display using CT-BASIC.
