I tested the issue without mods.

Yes

What happened?

Was following the video for avatar conversion and having issues with the Biped Avatar Descriptor not letting you rotate the hands for the SDK. I see he was able to put it in the hierarchy but never showed how he did it and the hands are stuck where they shouldn't be. Any one know how to get the hands to rotate?

What were you expecting?

Was hoping the hands for the biped would auto detect.

No bugs, just trying to see how you put it in the hierarchy

You have to add empty objects into the scene representing the references for the hands/head locations yourself, not give it existing objects on your avatar hierarchy.

Okay seeing the video again and just making an empty object for the head I see how you did it. Weird you have to do it like that but I appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

It's because it follows almost like in the game the process to make an avatar :D

I wonder if there could be a way that we could just drop like the head bone, and the lefthand / righthand bones into the Descripter, then have it when you send it over it creates the proxy slots.
As I'm sure many users will just drop the bone slot into the fields..

This project already aligns the hands automatically (MIT License) https://github.com/Phylliida/ResoniteUnityExporter/blob/main/ImportFromUnityLib/ImportAvatar.cs

and This mod uses that code for aligning the avatar creator hands ingame https://github.com/AwesomeTornado/Resonite-Hand-Aligner

Hopefully Froox can find these useful in some way

@Mhowser Anyone is welcome to use our code to make a PR here ofc if interested, combined with froox’s algorithm could probably be made fairly robust

I think this should now be addressed with the auto-positioning?

Are you still having any issues?
