Description
Feasibility study, for potential photo-realistic rendering
• Red gears: 20 teeth, 12 count
• Blue gears: 24 teeth, 20 count
• Yellow gears: 13 teeth, 60 count
Red gears aligned with icosahedron vertices • Blue gears aligned with dodecahedron vertices
Polyhedral basis for red & blue gears: buckyball
Regarding all 92 gears, the central rotation axes are aligned with the vertices of a frequency 3v, class-I geodesic tessellation of an icosahedron
Modeled in SketchUp • Animated in JASC Animation Shop

Minor edit (28 July 2011): Adjusted GIF dither, to reduce obvious color "banding," and added internal "geodesic cage" support frame

2022 and i just found out about this. Its completely mesmerizing and my brain can't wrap around how it works, rendering any try of replicating this to a paiful failure. Do you have any guides/hints? Anything could help!
Wonderful work!
