Description

Genesis is prototype #2 for The Automata Project. Genesis is a display of three straight tooth gears in the spur arrangement with 10 teeth, a 1:1 ratio. The gear movement is displayed between two bases created by using radii and tangents and features a hole pattern across its base to give it a mechanical look. I wanted to place the center of interest on the center gear, so I dropped it slightly as opposed to keeping it in line with the other gears.
