Blender 2.66 Gear rigging tutorial constraints and 1 machine controller.
In this tutorial I will show you how to make different types of links between gears using constraints. We'll go into the copy rotation-, and transformation constraint.
After this we'll create a controller object to control your entire machine and make it really easy to control and animate. I will also show you how to create a cyclic never-ending animation using the cycles modifier and the graph-editor.
