Gear rotation expressions

[rampant.animator]

Hi All,

I need to make a geared machine and wondering whether mGear is worth using or just do the rotation scripts manually.

Is there a way to rotate controllers via expressions based on the channel values of other objects?

eg rotating the x value of the controlling object 1 rotation will rotate the x value of another object 0.73 rotations?

I’ve looked at the RBF Manager but can only see pose base driven keys rather than expressions.

TIA
Bruce

No, there is nothing in mGear that will help you with stuff like this, except you could put the scripts in a post script when you build your rig. You’ll need to add stuff like this manually.
