The Belt Drive generates and animates the mesh
for a variety of transmission belts. Flat, vee and round belts
are supported.
The plugin comes in 3 parts. The Belt primitive builds the mesh
and wraps the belt around a number of grouped wheels. Each wheel
is marked with a Belt Pulley modifier. The Belt Drive modifier is
added to the wheel group and this animates the belt and keeps it
wrapped tightly around the wheels.
Tensioners can also be implemented in the Belt Drive system to maintain
a constant length.
