Our example Seated controllers show this branching behavior and the proper transitions and State Behavior setup for applying a seated animation. Note that since the creator decides what type of Tracking Control to apply, the Seated property on a SDK3 station does not necessarily indicate the tracking type on SDK3 avatars.

However, there will be no behind-the-scenes State Behaviors applied (which does occur in SDK2 stations). The SDK3 branch can choose to do any combination of animations, Tracking Control changes, and Pose Space changes that are available for SDK3 avatar. The SDK2 branch should apply a fixed seated pose (if Seated is enabled), or a full-body animation if Seated is not enabled. Transitions to begin a seated animation should branch on AvatarVersion combined with InStation to begin the custom animation. It is currently only set by SDK3 avatars (where AvatarVersion will have a value of 3), so SDK2 avatars will remain at the default value (check for AvatarVersion < 3). SDK3 stations support the AvatarVersion parameter. The animation in the station will automatically have Tracking Control applied based on the Seated property of the station.Īdditionally, if Seated is checked, a Temporary Pose Space is applied to adjust the viewpoint. If Seated is unchecked, the SDK2 avatar plays the animation with no IK applied. This is where the hip and lower body is locked into place, and the head/hands are tracked. If Seated is checked, the standard seated IK is applied to SDK2 avatars. The Seated property is used to decide what kind of IK the occupant should get when playing the animation. Stations used in Worlds SDK2 Station with SDK2 Avatar The Seated parameter is now only true if the Seated property was checked on the station.

There is a new parameter InStation, which can be used to indicate that an avatar has entered a station, but might not have Seated-IK enabled. We support SDK2 and SDK3 stations that have animations to drive either SDK2 or SDK3-based avatars. This component acts a bit differently in VRCSDK2 and VRCSDK3. This component can also be used on avatars to create seats on avatars!

Example can be found in the SDK as VRCChair.
