Confusing to say the least, but a really cool concept, for anyone who needs help, you can press Shift - F11 to open the text editor, press new, paste the python script, then run it. You also have to have gear width in the calculator
Blender 2.8 users: To use the auto-generated python script that creates the gear profile, you need to change 4 lines in the script. These lines of code are deprecated in 2.8 and only work in 2.7 or less. # Link object to scene and make active # these lines are valid for 2.79 not for 2.8 scn = bpy.context.scene scn.objects.link(ob) scn.objects.active = ob ob.select = True # revised commands for 2.8 view_layer = bpy.context.view_layer view_layer.active_layer_collection.collection.objects.link(ob) view_layer.objects.active = ob ob.select_set(state = True)
Thank you for the video. I created my gears with your tutorial :) Now I have next problem how to make gears rotate as I want? Not only in one direction and one speed.
I have tried a 10 to 100 teeth ratio and I had to go over 1 in profile shift to get rid of the red warning but the result was disappointing as the line of the profile crossed one another... I run the script without profile shift and fixed the problem manually but then the simulation worked only for a teeth and got blocked, and a applied sub surface modifier did not fixed the problem. Otherwise it's great!
Tanks for the video. Can you please explain me what does it mean the profile shift? I have made a program to create involute gears at other CAD software, I was struggling with the torsion angle, I think here I might have the solution, but I never heard this expression of profile shift before.
Need help I get to the point we need to select top vertices but all it selects is one individual Point not the whole top surface how do I change it in the software
Whow.. this is only suitable for those who are only intimately familiar with blender. Jumping through shortcuts without any explanations whatsoever is extremely difficult to follow!

Man your tutorials are truly very special and excellent .
Though I started getting along hardly with the robot sound :D
Thanks
Massively helpful video! Thank you so much!

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
@@rogermachin1046 You need to separate the import statements.

Did you consider making it a full flagged blender plugin at some point ?

wonderful! thx
Thanks!
This should be ported in Blender as permanent Plug-in!
How to select pure flat top? with ALT + RMB it selects also walls..

How can we buy your gear design software?
Thanks. ;)

Press and hold ALT and right-click on the vertex or between any two vertices.

he has another video that goes through it step-by-step
I can do nothing in Phisics for Arrows. How you do this?
I guess this is something wrong with Blender because sometimes I see this options on right sometimes I don't see.
This should be permanent plugin for blender
Thumb down for robo voice.
Good information, horrid voice.
