Hand Presence with Oculus Rift

Development Platform & Builds XR Development

Hey there guys, Im working on a VR Application on UE4 4.20 using an Oculus Rift, I wanted to implement a controller mesh which has the hand with the controller
something like this :

I tried opening Avatar SDK
but i couldn’t get it to open on 4.20 or 4.2, i feel maybe the hand presence in that paired with a controller mesh would help, but i need a skeletal mesh for animating the controller as well.

Getting the following error:

Alternatively,
Are there any out of the box solutions for this, could someone help me out on how to get started with making this ?

Hi @SahilSingh.AVR , the avatar template you are using is not anymore for the ue4 4.20.3 which already integrate the avatar plugin.
you can find a new Avatar template in the Oculus distribution of ue4 inside the Oculus examples.

Where can i find the Oculus Distribution of UE4 ?

The native integration of oculus does not give me rigged hands with rigged controller, it just gives me a static controller

Here is the link of Oculus with UE4 distribution:

Awesome ! i got it to work, although i couldn’t find an already done blueprint in those examples, but i found assets which helped me create the same, thanks for your help !

Hello @SahilSingh.AVR do you have a good knowlege on ue4 , c++ and blueprint?
Because you need this for the Oculus Avatar and more specifically with the multiplayer. :wink:
