Re: Gear Simulation Problem....

They are very very low res :) Try to add a few more egde loops on the gears. That should help. Edit: If you don't really need the rigid body sim for anything else than the rotating of the gears than you could use expressions. http://caffeineabuse.blogspot.com/2008/ ... heels.html edit:2 fixed the li...
