Meta Avatar Characters as NPCs

Hello,

I am developing a VR app in Unity. I was wondering if anyone has had any success or if it's possible to use the Meta Avatar SDKs as NPCs?

I integrated Avatars with user input with the Quest 2 just fine. However, I want to have some NPCs Avatar Models with custom animations for engagement. I haven't had much success extracting models/rigs from the SDK. Did anyone try this before? Would anyone be able to offer some guidance/insight?

Thanks

    I think you should use the preset avatars they provide for the NPCs. Then use ovrAvatarEntity.RecordStreamData() to record some motions. Then use ovrAvatarEntity.ApplyStreamData() in a loop to apply those motions to the NPC avatars.

      Ok, I'll talk to our developers to look into that and see if that works. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction.
