The last couple of days I’ve been researching how cars work, since I want to make some 3D animations for my new job - and I seriously lack knowledge in this area.

First of all: cars (..planes, trains, and basically all machines) are fucking magic. Seriously, if you don’t know anything about transmission, engines, differentials - like I didn’t - go watch some videos. It’s literally mind-blowing. I have no idea how people came up with this stuff, especially considering how long ago it all started.

Second: while searching for videos about clutches, I found the Animagraffs channel, and I highly recommend checking it out. There’s a bunch of amazing videos explaining how things work. And the craziest part - it’s just one guy doing everything in Blender. There are even a few videos where he explains his process (including the research stage - which is also mind-blowing), so yeah.. I’m definitely down this rabbit hole right now.
