I've just seen a nice looking gear in the pov-ray objects collection in the
engineering category.

This image has a very nice feel to it. It's very artistic. :)
However, shouldn't the shape of the gears be constructed to match both
the bending and twisting? (See attached image to see what I mean.)

Oh man... I see a run of gear images coming... I love it.

Except that the textures won't match up :(

Great stuff! I'll see if I can alter my gears over the weekend.

Change the texture so that it will loop? Removing the normal you have
would seem to work, as I assume it's just a reflective pigment
(metallic?)
That'd be my choice if i was going to do a small test animation before
putting the original textures back in and doing a full 36) rotation
anim...
