Course content

4 sections • 28 lectures • 4h 19m total length

  • Introduction0:15

    Learn how to create gear mechanisms in Blender using constraints and a driver, exploring practical animation techniques.

  • Course Introduction1:37

    Learn to build gear mechanisms in Blender using constraints, traverse, and keyframes, compute gear ratios, and apply them in drivers and constraints, using Blender 2.93 with gear master add-on.

  • free vs paid addon5:16

    Explore free gear add-on basics in Blender 2.93 and below, including teeth, tool width, module, width step, and rotation; compare with a paid gear addon and learn to match modules.

  • Update FREE ADDON for Blender 3.x version1:21

  • spur Gear with Transform Constraint5:45

    Learn gear ratio and transformation constraint to animate spur gears with different teeth in Blender. Apply rotation, map from the big gear, and use negative values for opposite rotation.

  • Spur Gear with Drivers7:46
  • Simple Spur Gear with KeyFrame2:54

    Create a spur gear animation in Blender for a gif using two gears of 30 teeth. Use a copy rotation constraint with inverted z-axis, set keyframes, and use linear interpolation.

  • rack and pinion4:15

    Learn to build a rack and pinion mechanism in Blender using gear master, with 30 teeth and module 0.2 m, then animate via constraints and extrapolation for linear motion.

  • worm gear9:58

    Create a worm gear mechanism in Blender by configuring foam gear with 50 teeth, set module and diameter, apply shade smooth, use drivers to animate rotation and illustrate gear ratio.

  • Sun Gear5:28

    Learn to build a sun gear in blender. Use an internal gear, adjust hole diameter and thickness, drive a 1:4 rotation ratio for cycles rendering at 640 by 540.

  • Bevel gear with drivers6:06

    Learn to animate a bevel gear in Blender using drivers to rotate the gear and pinion across different axes, tune gear ratio and geometry, and avoid applying location.

  • Bevel and Worm Gear Project16:09

    Learn to build bevel and worm gears in Blender and align them for a smooth gif animation. Use drivers and gear ratios to drive rotation accurately.

Requirements

  • Intermediate Knowledge of blender is required

Description

Do you want to learn how to create realistic and accurate gear and mechanical animations in Blender? If yes, then this course is for you!

This course will teach you everything you need to know about the gears and mechanical mechanisms. You will learn the fundamental concepts such as gear ratio, pitch circle diameter, and module. You will also learn how to use constraints, drivers, and keyframes to animate different gear mechanisms such as spur gears, rack and pinion gears, worm gears, bevel gears, and sun gears.

But that’s not all! This course will also show you how to make various mechanical mechanisms such as cranks, pistons, cams, levers, pulleys, belts, chains, and more. You will learn how to rig and animate these mechanisms using bones and shape keys. You will also learn some math and logic behind working constraints that will help you create any animation you want.

This course is divided into free and paid add-ons that will help you make gears and mechanical mechanisms quickly and accurately. The free add-on is called Gears Creator Lite and it allows you to create basic gears with a few clicks. The paid add-on is called Gears Creator Pro and it gives you more options and features to customize your gears.

The course resources include solved project files for each lesson that you can download and follow along. The instructor is also available to answer any questions or doubts that you may have along the way.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation in the gears and mechanical mechanisms. You will be able to create stunning gear and mechanical animations that look realistic and professional. You will also have a lot of fun learning new skills and techniques in Blender.

So what are you waiting for? Enroll now and start your journey into the world of gears!
