In the maker’s words

I watched the excellent Veritasium video [1] on the Enigma machine, and watched the full animation by Jared Owen [2], but was still a bit confused on how the inner mechanics of an Enigma machine work. I used Astra to build out the inner components through a combination of reference images, writing out hundreds of extremely detailed prompts, and building my own inspection tools to ensure that every part is sized and positioned in a historically accurate way. It's still a work in progress, but would love any feedback on the experience so far! 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsBZOcqZerk 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybkkiGtJmkM
