Cyber_One on YouTube has a series of videos, this is part 1 it goes to part 7. Hopefully he does not mind me using his video here. Somebody tell him he is doing a good job or something.



Make InMoov Walk.

So far the strongest of the servos I can find are 125kg so I bought a book titled “507 Mechanical Movements” hoping that I can find a movement that will magnify the force enough to use in the hips, knees and ankles.

I found this book on Amazon and it has 4.8/5 stars. Painfully obvious it’s the only way I will have a shop but it seems to be an excellent book.



I have not been working on this stuff like I should have been.

Okay so I have Daz3d, all the files for InMoov, a 3d printer, micro controllers, all the servos for the eyes, face, head and neck, cameras for the eyes, and a little platinum cure silicone for skin. It seems like all I have to do is get to work but my get up and go, got up and went.



InMoov Skin

Okay so I bought a few sculpture books to learn that, and realized I can just take some photos of faces and load them into a face room like poser has then turn it into a 3d format and use a 3d printer to print molds for the skin. Then it is just a matter of drilling holes in the right places for the cables that attach to the servos for facial expressions like Hanson does. Not quite as easy as it sounds but I think it will work.



If anyone was wondering.
