Nicolas Vallier: Project 1 Gear

Inspiration:

Doctor Who Series 8 (2014) Opening Title Sequence [HD] 

My model is a slightly alien looking gear/clock, which takes some influence from the opening of the current Doctor Who title sequence (Seen above). The direction I might be taking with this would involve making ancient artifacts that have some sort of inspiration from several of my favorite Television shows and Video games as a series of pieces. 

I crafted this in Maya. I used the cylinder tool and cut the insides using the insert edge loop tool. Then, once I made one gear, I copied it and edited it to fit in as other gears.  

Here is the gear unsmoothed and smoothed:

I decided to add more gears on the outside of the original gear. I'm pretty happy with how it looks now.

The gear has been delivered. 

Update:

I ordered my gear from Shapeways and it has passed everything. It should be around 3-4 inches in diameter.
