VRChat IK 2.0 - Better Tracking for Everyone!

[@ActualDavis]

I've been asking for 10-point tracking for 4 years and i'm so happy it's finally officially supported.

[@ActualDavis]

For some reason replies to this comment are being either deleted or hidden, so let me answer some questions. FatBoyInASandPit replied: "And yet, mods added this feature far far before it was supported officially. Really says a lot about the VRChat dev team." Answer: Well I'm also not a big fan of the VRC team but recently they've really been stepping their game up. I can't really give them a hard time if they're adding requested features. koops replied: "why did you do 10 point if it wasn’t fully supported then? just wondering" Answer: I got more trackers for motion-capture animation for Blender, it worked in other SocialVR apps such as NEOs and i'm really happy it finally came to VRC WizardDoge replied: "touch grass" Answer: As a VRChat content creator and world maker I can confidently say the grass shader I use can indeed be interacted with! You can touch the grass :)

[@billieme8978]

So for them for years you didnt think to get ik tweaks🥴

[@ActualDavis]

@@billieme8978 I did get IK Tweaks. I've been an active part of the modding community for a long time and have contributed to multiple projects in hopes to bring various quality of life fixes to the game. My comment above was praising the developers for *officially* supporting 10-point tracking. Mods are great but the devs don't have a great outlook on them, so it's good that many of the features being worked on by modders are seeing official integration.

[@diebygaming8015]

@@ActualDavis But, they only added support for 10-point instead of 11-point. It makes no sense. That means you can't use a chest tracker. The steamvr bindings give you 11 points, so we STILL have to use a mod just to use all the default steamvr bindings. .. of course i agree that adding features that were previously in mods only is great, but 10 instead of 11 is just..

[@ActualDavis]

@@diebygaming8015 okay well 10 is better than none lol, I'm content.

[@CaseFace5]

this IK beta fixes every problem I had with the legacy IK, its so nice. No more FBT hunch while running with your arms forward, no more random hip tilt that requires rig hacks to fix. *chefs kiss* gg VRC devs

[@paolaanimator]

Glad to see full body tracking get an update! That's exciting 💙

[@eclairofironblood1623]

Finally someone gives information about this everyone was dodging their question

[@Savergn]

I'm very happy with this update, I bought FBT in early Feb of this year, and discovered that a lot of the avatars I liked using had various issues with a FBT setup. Some were so broken that turning on FBT caused the avatar to sink into the floor, or have their body/arms twisted in strange ways. This update fixed all of that, even without the avatar creators making any changes.

[@gothicology7672]

what’s the best full body tracking for quest 2? I’m looking to get it for my birthday but I can’t find any good recommendations

[@stephyyyyyyyyyyy]

@@sleeve9097 you're poor

[@eastcoasthavoc1454]

@@gothicology7672 You'd have to buy base stations and have a pc in order to even begin on FBT with a quest 2, and have to buy the trackers as well Even with just the Trackers and the Base stations alone is damn near 800$ and can increase even more depending where you buy, so be wary of what your going into

[@TheRealAnsontp]

I want to believe that VRChat devs are experiencing a world of hurt when programming this IK update- If anyone has watched the avid programmer (Randall), they must’ve had to ram that code down their throats... horrifying

[@blinded6502]

What do you mean?

[@nikidino8]

@@blinded6502 Doing any physics engine features can be a huge pain in the ass which takes very long time to develope. Especially with VR avatars that must have been an enormous amount of work.

[@blinded6502]

@@nikidino8 IK is not physics though. It's honestly a quite simple system, even if you take into account all of the tweaks mentioned in the video.

[@Ketaset999]

@@blinded6502 IK for regular games is much much simpler, with flatscreen gaming you are looking at 2 DOF +/_ crouching for most basic rigging. Here you are using 6 DOF ^6 and have to still make it behave naturally within the full range of human motion across user made models and rigging without control of proportions.

[@blinded6502]

@@Ketaset999 Still doesn't sound that much difficult, considering how easy it is to make an IK system and constrain it appropriately.

[@BarbokVA]

I'm really glad you all over there are finally starting to take on things that have been requested for a long time now and probably were top priority for most people! =) 2:46 Good one

[@DonnieBoiTV]

i really hope the height bit is true. im 6ft and have had my vrc height set to 5'6 so fbt would work with most avatars.

[@rubyy.7374]

I’m 5’3 and I have to set my height as 4’8 haha

[@JagerRex]

Works for me!

[@MinesweepActual]

Wait. That helps with fbt? I just recently got vive trackers and have already run into a few problems like that

[@malzergski]

​@@MinesweepActual it does, especially if your avatar is smaller than you, your tracking balls should match your feet, not 50 cm above

[@MinesweepActual]

@@malzergski Neat, I'll keep that in mind thanks

[@alwaysyouramanda]

Your new fit is adorable! I love the tech details on the sleeves!

[@RiskiVR]

Love your stuff sipp! Keep up the great work and thank you for helping inform others about every new vrc feature! ^^

[@onevoltten7352]

Didn't expect them to improve FBT support, this looks amazing.

[@nitorik1578]

I met you in vr chat once! i had no idea you made such high quality videos, best of luck! ♥

[@pawza1050]

Video popped up on my page, i checked it out and i dont regret it. Great work! Amazing videos and very interesting channel. Good luck in yt carrer, you deserve much more subs than you have rn!

[@JOERze]

3:41 Lmao. Really nice video. Keep up the great work Sipp. And long time no see ❤

[@thal-serfera369]

thank you for releaseing this video! IK meant NOTHING to me and it was more tech stuff i didnt understand, this is everything !

[@blen_dysstudio3487]

I don't have these settings.

[@purplehatter550]

I don't really have tracking, but as time goes on I do intend to have the full set of 'full body tracking' equipment. I'm so glad that when I get into all that, IK 2.0 will already be there ready to use for greater accuracy

[@Peglegkickboxer]

And we will all welcome you at the mirror while laying on our couches/beds as one of us. Godspeed space cowboy.

[@SoxZYT]

Im so happy do see this update! also unironically laughed at some funny bids. Amazing. thank you Sippbox

[@MetaPlay23]

Thanks so much for this video! I didn't really fully understand what the update added and fixed exactly so this helped me a lot!

[@GazixVR]

lets gooooo, I am loving the idea of this update. I can't wait to see where it goes

[@Alikaryn]

I won't get to much use out of full body but the arm changes are very nice no more clipping into myself,no more reaching out for something for my body to lean forward putting me on something and messing with my camera and throwing me off, and better more natural elbow movement is definitely nice even for non full body but built in head set hand tracking as I have a rift s

[@pikaplays1943]

Bro finally! I’ve been waiting for this makes things easier XD

[@memesredacted]

I just ordered my tundra trackers a couple weeks ago and they should arrive next month. Absolute perfect timing

[@angelaheart6432]

Thank you for putting out these videos, always informative and easy to watch~

[@bonbon_ann2701]

You pretty much answered all the questions I had about this next update. Good vid

[@gamerlad3368]

Thanks for this info in just starting to purchase trackers for vrc

[@spirit5923]

It's so cool to see the game getting much needed changes

[@MrPhillz]

I wonder show this compares to Ik tweaks. Hopefully it'll be better!

[@finnianheart]

this is all super cool but i just have to say your avatar is so cute!!

[@IsMyNameUnique]

this is sick! wish i actually had space to play vr but yknow cool that the game is getting some big updates to tracking

I physically winced at you throwing your trackers

nice, and i'll sub just for that 2:46 meme

Those videos are top tier!

[@shushyshushy6762]

What's great is that we can switch over to the old Legacy IK, which means I can still grab Ed from Big Als avatar world and scream "Buttered Toast!" in friends lobbies as if I were in Ed, Edd n Eddy.

nice :DDD now with a single camera you can just track so many more points of your body, gg

Really good explanation, thankies!~

i like the hat on your avatar its cool looking 😍

[@yeanedits]

2:45 I laughed so hard when I saw the image 🤣

[@unknown20005]

i think even now vr is a semi new technology we are still pioneering so its not surprising that there are issues in a way vrchat and the other vr games share similarities with other games as they have issues when they are new and released that will be fixed over time and i know vrchat has been around for awhile now but its all new technology and there is no previous groundwork laid out like there is for console or pc games so it takes longer for them to be able to figure out what is wrong and fix the issues but im sure as time passes they will get better at fixing issues and adding new features and better tracking

[@DecentRecruit]

tanks for the video. I didnt know this was a thing

[@rofbad]

your avatar is so cute lol i hope i will get vr too

[@JamieVatarga]

Abusing those trackers! How could you?

theyve been through worse

[@WanderingWlf]

Wow. Thanks for the video.

2:47 I see that image every time now XD

[@moonoramaVR]

3:42 caused me so much mental pain

[@Cherwub]

Hi I have a quick question, The new update has completely messed up my tracking and looks horrible i cant even swap to the old ik system because its just broken and leave all my avatars broken in a weird pose. Im a dancer and all of my movements now look stiff and messed up. Im 4'8 (yes painfully short and im 18) But I dont know what to do to fix this

[@tsavoritel9980]

this is exactly what ive been wanting out of the vrc dev team

[@stinky8677]

i can’t see IK 2.0 under the beta tab. how do i make sure it’s activated? do i have to type in a beta code?

[@ForgetfulHatter]

this'll be fantastic (when my full body trackers arrive 😋 ....ehe heh heh heh..)

[@auntrivka]

its great and all but makes my arms shorter somehow. my arms reach their length before my irl arms do, i dont have this issue outside the IK. and no, height is not the issue.

[@Ms._America_]

My Oculus keeps on switching from IK 2.0 which I want and I don't know how to keep it on the IK 2.0.

[@user-qi1tb3lk9j]

great video very underrated, I have a question does this affect people how don't use full body tracking at all or only full body players? still very interesting either way and lovely video editing and production you gained another sub keep up the good work!!

[@mica4977]

They mentioned 3 point tracking ( like quest users who only have head & arms) also gain from this update

[@AdeonWriter]

You still get the new IK where your elbows will wrap around your body to avoid clipping into it

[@PlaguesterDoktor]

can't wait to do this.

[@jt3000o]

This is going to be great for slime VR tracking hell yeah

[@pace4765]

Honestly may mix some slime trackers in as elbow n knees to match my vive ones, way better cost

[@jt3000o]

@@pace4765 nice that sounds cool

[@erei5659]

i hope by the time i am finally able to get vr, this game will still be around. i have been wanting to play since 2019, but still don't have any of the stuff to do that.

[@kassixo]

Why does my avatars elbow tracking still acts like the "old" version tho, arms clipping through the body?

[@sinnisdumb]

did you figure it out?

[@Incognito_Blazer]

More point tracking Too bad trackers aren't getting cheaper any time soon oof

[@sukumizune2477]

Are you testing your model in Unity or vrc? I want be able to test my model in unity (being able to adjust the model to mi size) but dont even know where to start ):

by FAR the most frustrating isue with vrchats fbt was the head drift for me i make from scratch avatars and it was a real pain that no matter what i did it just would nnot get fixed some times it'd be so bad would be looking at the inside of my own shirt >_>

[@nnnnoooah]

does this do anything with the kinect, I've always been wayyyy to poor to afford vive trackers so I just use my old Kinect 360, but it is a bit buggy and I would like to know if this might help it
