Zhann: making gears in terrain is beyond me...I wouldn't know how to start....:-) Heheh... You're kidding? Just draw a gear (or gears) as seen from the side in white with a black background. Not too hard to do with some vector graphics programs. Speaking of unusal shapes - that's what got me started with Anim8or and then Wings3D. Booleans are good, but up to a point and then it just gets confusing to sort out. Making meshes is easier on one's sanity. (Wings can even make helical type gears by using magnets.)
Your friendly neighborhood Wings3D nut.
