Original gears made in Inkscape with the gear effect, then the .svg's are imported into Blender, extruded and animated.
First attempt, 2 gears:

Second attempt, 5 gears (1 annulus gear, three planetary gears, and a sun gear). Had a heckuva time figuring out the rotation for the central gear. Run the vid twice. For some reason, the first time it runs way too fast.
