View Full Version : Meshed Gears

I am looking to get a formation of 6 gears meshed together.
I have attached an image to show you the type of gear that I would like to use. It doesn't have to be exactly the same.
I would imagine that there would be a centre gear with 5 other gears meshed together around the circumference of the centre gear.
I will then need to be able to add text to these gears.

Can anyone help me with this? :ponder:

Thanks! :beer:

Mate, dont you have a paint programme? Paint.net maybe? Looks like a copy-paste job to me :)

The trouble is the transparency. If you have some good transparent gifs of gears, then let me know.

Thanks for that mate.

If you happen to know of any better gears that mesh better, then please post. Bear in mind that text needs to be added to the centre of the gears. :)


What graphics program did you use or suggest?

I am not a graphics person.

Should be pretty easy with the magic wand tool in almost all paint programs. Paint.net is pretty nice IMO for editing like that.
