And because of this I’d like you to please bare with me here, I’ve made my first loopable ‘tooth’ but it’s not arraying or ‘spinning’ correctly. What I mean is that my non toothed parts aren’t joining at the seams no matter what I do. Here’s a couple of screenshots to hopefully explain my problem:

need to activate the extra scripts !
