Adding weapon kickback to the avatar hands?
Hi there! I'm trying to add some kickback from projectile weapons (to simulate a muzzle kick), but whenever I try to add a rotational force to the avatar hands from the Oculus Integration, nothing at ...

Youl have to add an interupt into the avatar pose update loop otherwise all transforms will be derived from your touch controllers. So the basic implementation would be something like this:
-fire gun
-pause pose update on relevant hand
-copy and apply last pose transforms (otherwise they will be set to 0,0,0 in local space)
-apply your kickback animation (canned or procedural via physics in your case)
-wait until kickback completes
-re-enable pose updates
Ok, that makes sense, thanks. I'm new to using the Oculus SDK, so I'm not entirely sure where the pose update function you're referring to is. I assume it's the 'UpdateTransforms' function in OvrAvatar, right?
