R1Tools OpenXR VR Animation Toolkit is a set of integrations to record motion capture using OpenXR with Vive Trackers within the game engine to record character animation directly in your scenes.

R1Tools uses Mecanim for basic IK in Unity but if you own FinalIK VRIK you can use the VRIK Integration for improved IK customisation!

This tool has been used in the production of various VR titles such as Metaverse Adventures - Into the Metaverse

I cannot say enough good things about this tool and this developer. Recording your animations, in the very place the animation will exist in scene, is truly amazing. It really snaps you into the character’s headspace like no other. Being able to interact with objects and have them recorded too…so next level. Like really amazing. Here is me snapping into the Globe Theatre scene snapping clip.

I had so much fun animating all the characters in my ride with this tool. Right from the start, this tool was destined for the Asset store as there really is nothing like it for indies. This is the indie mocap solution we have wanted. Best part is, it will only get better as the tech improves which is going to open up some interesting performance possibilities.

Love to hear what you are all creating and if a dark ride, come on over to the Discord as there are plenty of others there who would love to learn what you are doing.

I have recently released an update that allows this tool to work with the new Unity Input System Pose Control driver via #USE_INPUT_SYSTEM_POSE_CONTROL

I will continue to collect developer feedback and improve the asset, I love hearing how you are using the tool to animate characters in your projects!

Just updating that this asset works with Vive Ultimate Trackers and any other tracker devices that are officially supported by SteamVR as an OpenXR runtime.
