Get
your self a cup of tea before starting to play with this demo application,
cause you are sure to be sitting in front of the computer for quite
a while!
Zeta comes with a demo application for showing the capabilities
with OpenGL.
The GL Teapot is a simply an spinning object. The object is being
calculated from mathematical instructions. As the calculation is
an ongoing process, you have total control over colors, reflectiveness,
opacity and shade, through the menus in the demo application.

Each adjustment you do to the demo, will have effect on the rendering
speed. In other words, the more calculations you make the application
do, the slower the Teapot spins.
You can, as in 3d mov, grab the Teapot with your mouse and change
the orb it spins. You can even add another Teapot to the window.
The spin rate will then fall dramatically.
The speed of the spin can also be monitored through the number
of frames per second (FPS) shown in the lower-left corner of the
window.
GLTeapot-NOT!

It's not all that difficult to swap the tea pot by a different
image, let us say a Porsche or a fairy tale witch. To change to
a different image, simply open a Terminal and type:
