Hi @Diego. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. The information provided does not specifically mention how to create a full body IK remote avatar using Final IK. However, it does mention that if you are using a plugin like VRIK for IK movement on avatars, you need to wire it up to RealtimeAvatarManager’s Root, Head, and Hand transform inputs. This will ensure that your RealtimeAvatar instance matches the transforms of your camera rig instead of using the default Unity XR APIs source (https://normcore.io/documentation/realtime/common-questions#im-using-a-vrik-plugin-for-ik-movement-on-avatars-when-i-teleport-or-move-my-camera-rig-the-rig-moves-but-my-avatar-doesnt-whats-going-on).
For more detailed information, I recommend checking the official documentation or tutorials related to Final IK and Normcore.

Finally a video showing what we want! Thanks for sharing Mechabit, will try it out a bit later today 🙂
just googled it, but it's pretty straight forward
put the IK rig as child of the realtime avatar, set the ik targets as children of the avatar head and hands
I thought so too and I followed this guide here: https://jeffrafter.com/unity-multiplayer-vr-with-normcore/ which does that, but I had no luck.
Unity Multiplayer Virtual Reality with Normcore
What's better than Virtual Reality? Virtual Reality with friends. Even the most basic games become more fun when played together. Learn how to quickly setup a multiplayer VR game with Normcore and Unity.
that's a pretty comprehensive guide
At the end it's a pretty short section on the full body avatar implementation.
But I think what I missed is moving the IK targets as childrens of the Head and Left/Right Hand of the Custom avatar.
I think VRIK has the foot placement built in, not sure about other IK solutions
Awesome!
Got VRIK working but is lagging and not jumping when I'm jumping.
you have to play a jump animation if you want the legs to lift up
But the whole avatar is grounded
Okay jumping now works too (there was a setting: "Keep Planted" on the VRIK component
