Afton Chemical Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)

If you’d like to see a tutorial of the rigging and animation techniques, send me a message under contact .

It completely blows my mind that manual transmissions’ gears stay meshed and spinning together at all times, and that they are engaged and disengaged with a collar driven by the shift lever. I just had to visualize it. Wanna see?
