Re: Search for ideas on how to make belts ...

ive actually been recently playing around with the chains, and i think ive got it down. I make a normal chain with constrained links(thankyou imates!) then i extrude a surface, throw it in as a part, where i add a transitional constraint as well as tangent, and the belt rotates just as it would in real life in a circle. It is quite incredible.
