Gearing v. 1.010.00 Demo edition
( for 3ds Max 2009 and newer versions )

In Gearing (de) the most parameters are limited, so only 19 linkwors are practicable.
The animation capacity is 100% at hand.

Important! Create an editable spline with name "gspline", before animating the linkwork.
(Also for static linkworks).
In 2-wheels mode make sure gear2 teeth number is greater or equal to gear1 teeth number.

Gearing (de) supports all basic functions of the standard edition.
_ follows path automaticaly _
_ acceleration / deceleration _
_ high speed rotation (max 0.1f) _
_ clockwise / counter-clockwise rotation _

Known issues
Sometimes Gearing opens at the second try.
A mixed clockwise / counter-clockwise animation is not possible.

Installation / Opening
To open the script you might click on Maxscript (menu) / Run / Browse and open "express.mse".

How it works
The script computes rotate / move instructions (for every single key) and forwards them to the linkpoints.
Very accurate.
Spline IK solver and path constraint by animating the linkpoints aren't used.

License
Gearing Demo edition is freeware.
You can distribute the software ( free of charge ), if express.mse, ini_gearing.txt, steps.txt,
