How to add arms to your VR hands? (not the entire body)

Unity Engine
1

I’m working in a game in which I want the player to be able to see the arms and not just the hands. I have a model (rigged) for the arms/hands. When I tried to use it with FinalIK I have issues with the humanoid rigging because, of course, it has no head or legs.

How can I rig it so it works? Maybe with null objects representing position of the rest of the body? Is there a better way?

Thanks!

I haven’t tried it, but there is this asset: VRArmIK | Animation Tools | Unity Asset Store

You’ll probably need models, so VR Hands and FP Arms Pack | 3D Humanoids | Unity Asset Store is a possibility.

Another option is, make a complete humanoid rig where the head, body, and legs just happen to be invisible. Then use FinalIK or even Unity’s built-in arm IK.

Thanks Corysia and JoeStrout, I’ll try that and let you know!

Hi Diegodaly, did you get anywhere with this? I’m also trying to do the same but VR resources seem few and far between.

I recently purchased VR Interative Framework https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/vr-interaction-framework-for-oculus-quest-161066 by Bearded Ninja Games from Unity Asset store which has arm, body IK already setup which can be reverse engineered however this is Oculus specific.

Many thanks
