Inline-6 Engine Rig
I wanted a demo that shows engineers I understand how a machine works, and shows everyone else it can look really good too. This one started as a camshaft pushing six pistons, until I realized that in a real engine the pistons drive the crank. So I rebuilt it as an inline-6. The CAD is a FeatureScript in Onshape, I rigged it in Blender so one control runs all 57 parts, and I rendered it in Cycles. Claude helped me write the FeatureScript and the rig drivers.
