When importing a rigged 3D model of a humanoid into Neos, it can be automatically setup with inverse kinematics, which also allows use as a full body avatar. There are certain requirements for the rig to be recognized as humanoid/biped and setup this way:
- Model can be in A-pose or T-Pose. Others might work as well
- Orientation (forward facing) should be along the positive Z axis. Flipped Z can be detected as well, but might contain bugs.
- The bones should follow a naming convention specified below. Rigs from Mixamo already follow this convention.
- The bold bones are mandatory - must be present on the rig
- The avatar also needs to have identifiable thumb - fully rigged fingers or at least one bone chain for the thumb and one for the remainder of the hand.
- Each finger must have at least two segments.
- Names are necessary for less than five fingers. For hands with five fingers, geometric detection will be used by default.
A sample Blender rig can be found here.
