Well, I think I was assuming that the 'model' itself would be moved
by some other part of the animation program, that would be independent
of animating the gears/wheels.

But now that you bring it up, it would be nice for the wheel's
function to be able to update the models position when they are
notified that the axle has rotated - But jeez... now you're
practically talking about a full simulation environment... That's
alot to do on a home PC.

You're forgetting one important connection! The connection between the tire and the road surface. What about that? -Mike (...) (23 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
