This free tutorial is about how to animate the 3D gear with simple technique of animation. There are two parts of this project, in part 1 you will learn how to model the 3D gear and final part will show you the animation of 3D gear. As you know that almost every kind of objects are created with Polygonal primitives and design for gear are created with polygonal cylinder and with complete geometry setting finally it shaped as 3D gear. After this tutorial you will able to model and animate the 3D gear yourself. This project is very useful for engineering because of its mechanical modeling. This project is simple and easy because it is consisted on only 2 parts. One is 3D Mechanical Modeling and the other is 3D Mechanical Animation with Dynamics feature of Maya. We’ll model a very simple gear for you so that you become familiar with wedge face techniques. This project is understood only by the average or expert of Maya application because of its difficult and advanced commands. Gears have unlimited types and shapes, we have done only one in this tutorial, you may find more modeling techniques and gears shapes from our website. Here you are given related category of Maya projects which is complete guide of the Maya users.
