Pure_Morning- you are the man!! I will check out the file when I get home tonight, that was so nice of you to do! I really appreciate it 
3Demon- I agree with you that it looks like a doll house or something... I think maybe because the gears are so big? any suggestions? maybe if I add some smaller stuff in there it will work itself out (i hope!)
schmick - I usually only use 3 lights, I try to keep it simple so I dont get overwhelmed. however that last render was with GIJoe

it's cool mate, I think it would look really cool to have them all turning it's fairly easy to pull off but it may require a bit of tweaking on your cogs... good luck

Take a look at the mb file. It starts to freak out after a little while and it will take some tweaking but the basic idea is there.
is not that the idea of the challenge? it has to freak out to be a mad scientists work ....

LoL, that happened to my cogs as well when I did that tut ages ago. They rotated for a bit, then spazmoed into the stratosphere!

lol I dont know anything that does. I tried to write a cloth simulation and that would run stable for a while and then go absolutley bloody nuts. It's all about numerical instability as far as I recall!

Some students on the same education as I tried this as their masters project. They claim it isn't impossible and what I saw at their presentation, it worked like a charm Meqon their company

They aren't rich by any means, they are just a small upstart (got their MSc this year). They are pretty young, I don't know exactly but around 23-26 I would guess (based on the avg. age of graduates here).

Sorry howard! =)
pure_morning: they should, they are really nice guys too, and they have secured some business deals. I just hope people buy their stuff, I know I would.
