    Post 3d Watch Mechanism D&D Plot Device.

    Thread moved from community leader forum

    I know this is off topic, but I wanted to show off my VERY early WIP 3d bits. I'm making an escapement mechanism with balance wheel animation in 3d...I had to show you guys because this is probably going to end up being my next avatar here

    If you don't know what an escapement is, its the mechanism in a watch that allows the spring to release itself in intervals that mark the watches movement. The clicking of the pallets on the escapement wheel gear is what makes the tick tock sound. Its really quite cool.

    here's a link to an animation slowed down...mine will be close to actual time if I can pull it off...with every click being half a second...and one full swing (tick and tock) being a whole second. http://www.clockwatch.de/index.html?...ec/hem/ank.htm

    EARLY...I've modelled the important bits. Still gotta fine tune it...and when I get everything placed right, I'll make it artsy instead of just techy
