      whats your opinion on this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6riVwzaio4

      Very well done. ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘

      My only criticism is considering the high quality of the work in general, I would have used a much higher segment count for the wheels and fenders, to smooth out those curves. It looks like the default 24.
      I would have used at least 48 or even 60+ just for those large circles.

                                      Wow, I'll bet this guy sleeps in a spacesuit with a phaser under his pillow ๐Ÿ˜† I'm not really into spacecraft that much but these are some of the best I've seen. He doesn't go overboard with the details like some I've seen, they are clean and very well thought out.

                                      The video tutorial on post processing is excellent, I've only watched about 6 minutes of it and already I've learned a lot.

                                      Thanks for posting this Marian ๐Ÿ‘

                                          I'm not into post-process rendering, but that was impressive. I watched about 50% (fast fwd through repetitive stuff) and that was an education in itself. I'm a big fan of layers in SU, but using layers like he did in post was an eye opener, and for what little of that I do in my photoeditor, I will be using layers to edit. ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘

                                            OK, this isn't SU modeling. ๐ŸŽ‰

                                            I was on the net researching Planetary Gear Drives and computing their ratios, when I found this link.

                                            It gave me the calcs I needed, but then later I started to explore some of the links on the page, and a few hours later, I'm here.

                                            Go to this page, go 1/2 way down and click on "Planetary Gear Drive" or any of the links on page bottom, go watch some videos and be amazed. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

                                            http://woodgears.ca/gear/planetary.html

                                            ===================================================================
                                            And my SU model in part....... (resulting from that research)

                                            Attached are 4 pics of the gearbox for an actuator I'm working on on my big airplane project.
                                            (Straight from SU, no post rendering)

                                            Sun & Ring Gears - Sun is stationary, the Ring is Input.

                                            Planet Gears & Spider.  The Spider is Output.

                                            Assembled gearbox.  Total ratio in this config is .6:1

                                            Backside view.  The Octagonal ring overlaps the Ring gears octagonal outer edge to drive a cascade of 2 or more gearboxes.
