A texture generator for cogwheels with ornamental structural frameworks. Uses a source image to texture the cogwheel surface.
Tips:
- Activate 'Tweak Mode' to bypass edge bevel calculations for faster feedback.
- 'Teeth Taper': Select 1 for no taper. 2/3/4 activate a convex/linear/c
- Specular Highlights: If you don't want them, just turn surface height down to zero.
Thanks to uberzev for the 'Circular Angle Gradient' technique. Without it, the cogs would lose their bite! ;)=)
