I wanted to make a gear "mess" comparable to what we already know with
pipes. And I also wanted it to be tileable to make page background
images. Here is a sample. It uses Marc Schimmler's gear include, and a
little proggie to be released soon. Note that every gear is connected to
antoher one, forming a global "path".

I like it. I've enjoyed making gears since I found my first gear include
file on the net. I started working on my own gear macro, but never finished
it.

I really like this one, keep up the good work.
Did you use post process in megapov for this?

If that was animatable, perhaps by making the smallest number of spokes 4
and having all of them be either 4, 8 or 12, I would have a new animated
background... I'm getting pretty tired of the walking guy.

Way cool! I bet you have made sure that all gears can turn (i.e.
there's an even number of gears between any two gears)

It was post-processed with the Gimp. I didn't like the colours, so I
adjusted the colour balance, and finished converting the whole crap to
greyscale. I was extremely surprised to see how nice it looked :-)

I would certainly had cared about this if it had been physically
possible, but unfortunately it isn't.
It might be possible to make a dirty hack using "deep" gears to hide the
speed issues, but anyway it would be necessary to make a lot of images
to compose the anim, according to the least common multiple of the
numbers of teeth which are all, of course, random. Multiply this by 2h15
on a dual pII/450 using pvmpov (on a 48 gears basis). Doing this with a
small number of gears as Bill suggests would probably show these
problems more than with many gears.
I don't say it's impossible, and would be interested to see such
results. I will release the proggie+include kit soon.
Bye!

How did you make the image tile-able? so that part of one gear 'wraps'
around to the other side?
