D-Ov2Evo Tutorial Part 4: Parameters and Personalization

Описание: This is the fourth video in a series of tutorials to build a moving animatronic version of the D-O droid from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Our version is called D--Ov2Evo, and it is an extension of Michael Baddeley's D-Ov2 design.

You can find Michael's original design, as well as the print files for our version, BOM lists, and text tutorials in Michael's Patreon:   / mrbaddeley  .

You can find the open-source software we use to run our droids at https://github.com/bjoerngiesler/BBDr.... The Wiki on that page has the full documentation as well as the build how-to.

This video covers D-Ov2Evo's control modes, a bit on how the body counterweight and head masses interact, and also free animation parameters that you can use to make your droid more lifelike and give it character. If you like what you're seeing, please give a thumbs up and subscribe!
