Installation

══════════════════

Unzip the file found at the bottom of this page into your daz studio content folder

typically :

c:\program files\daz\studio\content\

or

C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library

once installed the prop will appear in your library under

content/props/mcasual/Gearz

or

My Library/Props/mCasual/Gearz

Note that the "Gearz" folder is subdivided in 3 sections

more "slices" = better teeth definition

note that you could move the props ( *.pp2) and associated thumbnails (*.png)

elsewhere as long as the geometry files (.obj) remain in their Geometries folder

══════════════════

Use

══════════════════

if you look in the prop's parameters tab you'll see a whole lot of morphs

most of the time you can leave them alone.

Instead learn to use the master controls found in the

"Gears", "Expanders" and "Levels" sections ( groups )

Theres also the "Sides" and "Corners" sections, but you'll probably use those less often

"Corners" and "Sides" are residue from the genesis of this prop, which started as a "plate" with a center "hole"

so you can use those to fashion your gear into a bizarre square plate with rounded corners

Notably : The Gears Group lets you configure the gear as a spur, crown or ring gear with just 1 slider

The "Int" slider of the "Expanders" Group lets you change the center hole radius

There's "Up" sliders in the "Levels" section to make the gear thicker or thinner

---

If you want to fine tune the shape of the teeth, look for the morph channels named "Teeth"

each tooth is composed of 4, 8 or 16 "slices" if you change the "Len" or length of a slice

the length of that slice for the gear's 32 teeth change. Use the "Rot" or rotate to move the slices sideways.
