Playing around with blender ... something kind of industrial. I think
I'll refine the model, but like where it's going.

I like the textures. It's a very "tech" image.

Reworked the model ... not as much bevel on the gear edges. Played
around with the textures a bit more. I like this version better.

I like this one better, too.
The smaller the bevel, the better IMO.
I like your materials. I bet they are not blender ones. ;-)
I have just started to try to learn Blender (again).

I was thinking about the base.
But some of the images I have seen recently are quite impressive.

Yes from the little I have seen. It is good, I quite like it.

You would be correct ... I have a highly reflective metal material that
I just re-use. I change the color depending on what kind of metal I'm
trying to create. In this example I also added irid in the finish block
... played a bit with the irid_wavelength parameter in global_settings
as well.

Yeah if it wasn't for some of the plug-ins (Curves Galore) and finding a
few simple models I wouldn't have gotten this far. I used the CG plug-in
to create the gear teeth, the rest are just simpler bezier curves. The
ball bearings and the race(s) they rest in were much easier to do with
povray csg ... so I still have a way to go. At any rate that approach
helped me get past the tedium for messing with that stupid cube. Just an
idea ... hope it helps you along.

This is a much better model, I like your use of irid definitely an under used
feature.
I have just started playing with sculptris, I never got my head around blender
but intend to give it another go at some point. Sculptris however is amazingly
easy to use.

"The featured object was constructed out of three bezier curves. The Curves
Galore Blender plug-in"
hah, I used the plugin Mesh -> Extra-Objects -> Gears :)
that, and subsurface modifier and a bit of editing to get creased edges

That's probably because prior to 3.7 it was too buggy to be of any use.
