Another tutorial for you, this time its recreating something cool that I have seen! Basically on Reddit I spotted a post created by GarethWasHere showing these super cool mechanical GIF loops.
I have somewhat of a love for gears, cogs, pistons and the like so I thought these looked great! I had to try and recreate one of them using dynamics!
So, that is what this tutorial covers. Complete from start to finish. First we will model the parts, then we will setup the dynamics system. Next we light the scene followed by rendering. Finally how to then turn it into a looping GIF.
I had lots of fun with this one, I may even try building another one of Gareth’s models using dynamics!

Above is the looping GIF I made, below is a video example of the same system.

It’s very refreshing to me to stumble on such a fantastic article. Lately, I have found it to be more difficult to uncover even decent articles much less articles of this high quality. Thank you.
Greetings,
Mechanical forces inside a motor can reason magnetic noise. This is the end result of stress generated with the aid of using magnetized parts. Some of the not unusual place kinds of magnetic noise in an electric powered motor encompass unequal air gap, slip noise, and skewing. Generally speaking, magnetic noise debts for the second one maximum ordinary reason of unexplained/atypical electric powered motor noises with inside the and four-pole varieties. It is regularly the main reason for electric powered cars which have six or extra poles.
