Okay, I made another attempt to smooth out the animation. Had to use a different set of gears as the other ones always give the swaying motion when they move. I'm sad that I can't find gears with the same metallic colour as the previous ones though.
So...how's this one? (although, and this could just be me...but the older gears and its jerky movements give me more of a nostalgic feeling...
)
(...I think I'm just digging myself a deeper hole... orz)
...and forgive me for making a double-post.
