I love the picture, but I am wondering how in the heck did you make realistic chain. My chain started out as a band and after lots of trial and error progressed to a bumpy band that looks kind of like chain from a distance. I saw an earlier pic of chain, but the guy said that he had a very good computer and took a lot to do. Did you do it any eaiser/simpler so my computer can handel it?

I made both types of links (inner and outer) and then arrayed them in the direction of the chain, so it is actually a physical model of the chain. the final product was unioned to make it easier to work with. If you want i can email you the two links and a few standard sprockets. Just send me an email and i'll get them to you ASAP
