Evva MCS in 3D

Information about locks themselves. Questions, tips and lock diagram information should be posted here.

Evva MCS in 3D

Postby JK_the_CJer » 4 Oct 2011 9:47

So Evva has awesome 3d animations of their locks including MCS. I decided to give it a shot and model/animate my own in Blender. Also wrote it up at the link below with nice renders of the individual parts. These locks are awesome; hope this helps out some folks to understand how they work. I'll be re-rendering in higher quality and re-editing it soon (the text goes by a bit too fast), but its still pretty neat.

Very nice!

I've been watching the Blender project develop for years, and keep meaning to spend the time to learn how to use it... very well done!
