This is a MEL script I created over 4 months time.
The purpose of this script is to provide an effective and efficient way to create chains of gears that consistently have their teeth meshed together.
These chains are rigged on the fly to animate with their teeth meshing together.

The Gear Creator can create 2 different types of gears with 3 different materials:
Spur Gear(left) and Face Gear(right)
Also note the circles between each gear. These are orientation controls that allow you to rotate one gear around another, keeping their teeth meshed in real time!
Steel(left), Bronze(middle), and Wood(right)
There are two creation modes in the Gear Creator:
Gear By Gear provides in-viewport sizing controls for each gear.
Each new gear will stay attached to the previous one.
Random Gear which can create a chain of any number of gears with random gear type, material, size, and position.

Surface Seeker Temple
This is a project I worked on alone over a 6-month period.
I used 3D Studio Max, Maya, ZBrush, Photoshop, and Unreal Engine 3.
"You are one of the surface seekers, a select group of intelligent sea creatures that is rebelling against the religious norms of their society as they spearhead the renaissance of their time."
The following are scene screenshots from Unreal Engine 3. The post following this one contains the prop sheets.
