Blender 2.83 Procedural Gear using Sorcar

[aachman98 (Punya Aachman)]

This is a really good introduction for beginners! Thanks for creating this.
I would like to mention just a few tweaks that can probably ease your workflow:

1. Extrude Faces (Individually) extrudes along the normals, so you don’t need to use Inset
   
   
2. If you keep bridging the edge loops as the last step, you can get the grooves on the top by extruding/insetting without all the selection hassle (as they are already selected)
   
   
3. The selection by normal glitch happens mostly due to float/double precision. Instead of using the exact values like 1.0 or 0.0 in “Select by Normal” node, keep it as 0.9 or 0.1 so that any small change is neglected, like this:
   
   
   
   
   (see Z value of “Minimum” input)

Hope this helps. Thanks again for taking your time to create this tutorial! Hope to see more videos in the future.
