In Web3D '17 Conference, James showed me how to do particle effect in Unity, which is very very cool. Then I thought that I may be able to create similar effect in my VRMath2 Editor. It turned out that it is quite easy to program in VRMath2, but of course the visual is not as good as in Unity. The simple codes, however, may be worth seeing, so here we go.

I recently just included Extrusion object into VRMath2 Editor and started to experiment its applications in creating 3D objects. It is quite easy to use Extrusion to create Spur Gears, but here I am showing how it can be used to created Helical Gears.

As an update to the 2d involute (curved teeth) gears, I modified the program to produce 3d (extruded) gears. This required a change in drawing tactics.

Finally, not perfect at all but working gear set in 3D. Thanks to asplech's blog about involute gear and this Spur Gear document, I finally get to know better about these cogged wheels.

It turned out that producing a set of involute gears requires quite a bit of geometry in addition to involutes.
