It's not the incredible tumbling house in, TWISTER (the movie), but rather the incredible tumbling teapot made by SImple Polygon Processer (SIPP) on a 486DX2 (NOT SGI) Linux System
The sequel to TWISTER, TUMBLING TEAPOT!
A 24 frame animation made using SIPP and MPEG encode.
I made an example of
using camera movement.
A sinc function made using datasurf, a new program I made using SIPP libraries.
Here is some simple rendered DEMO images from SIPP

This is SIPP, the SImple Polygon Processor, version 3.1. SIPP is a library for creating 3-dimensional scenes and rendering them using a scan-line z-buffer algorithm. A scene is built up of objects which can be transformed with rotation, translation and scaling. The objects form hierarchies where each object can have arbitrarily many subobjects and subsurfaces. A surface is a number of connected polygons which are rendered with either Phong, Gouraud or flat shading. An image can also be rendered as a line drawing of the polygon edges without any shading at all.
