I've added a remote vendor for Michelle Morphett's shop in the venue so that people looking for the gears I used can easily buy their own for whatever nefarious purpose.
They're sold in 5 sets of 3, but I tend to delink them and break them up into 15 individual gears for my silly little projects.
For instance, the "Gear Aura" I use is just:
- A small cylinder.
- 9 of the gears at various heights and positions from the cylinder.
- Link them up, with cylinder as root prim.
- Add rotation scripts on 2 axes to each gear, and mix the speeds and direction of rotation a bit.
- Stick a slow rotation in the whole set.
- Attach to Chest.
- Adjust to get gears nicely positioned (Turn off main rotation, Edit linked object)
I tend not to wear these in crowds because of the lag. I also try to avoid wearing them if there's a lot of motion going on, because they'll wobble a bit based on chest movement.
I'll do a movie about building one of these sets at some point.
Other uses:
- Moving wall decoration.
- Gear-rings.
- Nipple-rings (worked for Janet Jackson, right?)
- Lapel pin.
- Throw a bunch of a Sexgen bed and accuse your partner of diddling a droid.
I have yet to alter the prim type they use, so I'm not sure what happens when you make a sphere out of them, hollow that sphere, cutshape it in half... gear-shaped yamulke, anyone?
