Before you start working on your Add-On-Tools you need to import them from Preferences- AddOn list

Torus Knot you find under Add-Ons - Add Curve - Extra Objects

Thanks Lurifax73, I figured that out already. I just now figured out how to animate multiple objects by parenting them to an empty, then animate the empty. I'm finally making some progress with Blender...

Very Good racer-x

but, dont use round edges on geers. Delete Subdivision Surface and add Edge Split

Nice coffee cup Ella. I haven't done anything like that yet. The gears started out as path shapes I made in Gimp. I usually learn quickly, but Blender is very difficult to learn so it's a slower pace than I'd like.

It's for sure, Blender isn't easy to learn.
Very well done with the gear shape path in Gimp.
Blender also has a mesh > gears and worm.

The flag i made in Blender. It lost a lot in quality cause i had to scale it very much.

Very good Louise.

Your flag looks very stiff. Have you subdivide the plane 8-10 times and select silk before you animate your flag

You can look at my blend.

No i did not subdivide the flag, made loop cuts horizontally and vertically. But then i got rectangled divisions.
Maybe that's why the flag is very stiff. And yes i selected silk but that doesn't show very well in my outcome.

BTW i would like to drink a coffee or tea out of your cup. It looks very inviting

Well done racer. I like your plane.
There's so much you can make in Blender.

Good locking airoplane (Spitfire?) you have made.

You need to add surroundings as floor and HDRI image as provide you with real feeling.

Hello Louise
I made a new animated flag for you Ella Louise.

Animated flag for Ella Louise

Oh what a beautiful flag you made, Lurifax. :tyspin

I love it.
The lettering on the flag is also bumped, an extra dimension.
