This project demonstrates how a static CAD model can be brought to life with Zea Kinematics. This example shows how a state machine can be used to change the gear ratio of a gearbox, and to transition between cutaway and exploded views.
Features
- Change gear ratios in real time
- Explode the model into individual parts
- Switch between illustrated and PBR rendering styles

Tips and Tricks
- Click on the gearbox casing to switch between cutaway and exploded views
- You can use the tree view to hide and show parts
