No, but you can disable tail collisions. I thought characters didn't collide with each other during free posing, unless you mean the hand-snapping feature or collision acting on moving bodies.
Is there a way to enforce full collision?
Whenever im trying to pose things i often see that characters are acting like they are in Skyrim and have became part of the furniture, walls or the other character.
Im looking for a way that makes the posing a bit rigid so everything stays natural.
There is hip collision, and it has actually been a bit of a pain with posing

It edits that version's 'options' file, but is only needed if you want to use the official download and crack it yourself. Hence the pre-cracked DL is the way to go for most.
The hips have collision when you have two characters, making them push each other out of position when they move. I think this is a new feature
Will save everyone the trouble. Any of the FBT calibration and features are still incredibly jank and lacklustre. Rather than setting it through SteamVR, it auto-detects in the menus now. That's nice, but the tracking is still awful. I think their problem, in part, is likely that none of these bodies are actually configured for IK, so using characters as "playerbodies" is incredibly hacky. It's clear that this feature is more novelty than anything and the game is focused toward the 'viewing' experience.
This is fine, but then they probably shouldn't pretend they want to do things with FBT at all: it's just a very poor experience and difficult to align anything even with disabled collisions.
It's really strange, however, that they struggle with it at all since they market themselves on the VR experience. Have three stations and there's still massive wobble/drift which isn't an issue in any other game, even when just using 4 or 6-point. Going down to three point and controller jitter is still a persistent problem (in spite of, say, VRChat handling 11pt just fine with no drift or jitter).
Oh, and the rendering is still an issue for sim sickness. I'm not sure if it's a refresh rate issue, but Heat uniquely has a sort of 'buttery' rendering that seems to be the issue. Again, not a problem in any other VR title and the framerate itself is fine, so guessing there's hitches in the refresh somehow.

Interesting, so the game is poorly optimized. I never really thought about that but you might be up to something, every update the game seems to run a little worse.

NGL its kinda surprising how poor the IK and collision stuff is in this game, tons of folks make characters for VRchat that do all of that pretty well. not to mention we had stuff like Gmod a billion years ago that let you do ragdoll and posing of characters with the fuckin tool gun so its wild that the characters feet (or any other part really) dont have collision with the ground or pmuch anything else really, and most other body parts for that matter. i'm still a noob at 3d character modeling and havent got to rigging and doing skeletons yet but i have some surface level knowledge and i feel like given how long this game has been around they should be a little farther along with their physics model and IK at this point. i mean i still think the game is cool, far be it from me to complain about something im pirating anyway but there are a LOT of people who are actually paying for this, and new characters and environments can only get you so far.
The issue is that IK is very particular to:
* How your trackers are positioned (this includes controllers and HMD)
* How the model is set up (IK requires very specific tuning)
* The shape of your body compared to the shape of the model.
Heat, for whatever reason:
* Automatically designates the points your trackers connect to without showing you what & where you're calibrating. There is no way to do actual calibration that would normally resolve placement issues.
* None of the bodies are configured appropriately for IK in the first place.
* Exacerbates differences in shapes by, again, not allowing you to calibrate tracker positions appropriately.
It's not even a "my feet don't touch the floor" problem, it's a "the orientation of the model's bones are completely wrong because Heat can't play nice with trackers." The playerbody FBT very frequently ends up scrunched, rotated at odd angles, and facing the wrong angle compared to the HMD. It's an improvement over the previous version where it was literally "the player FBT is stuck in the floor at all times while your viewpoint floats above," but it's still pretty terrible.
I think really what it boils down to is that Heat is not a game designed with FBT and that level of interaction in mind. It was built as a "fixed pose gallery in VR" style game with some limited interactions involving toys & pose adjustments. Again, perfectly fine & they do well at that, but then I'm still left wondering why they're bothering with FBT at all.
bro the game is glitching but it runs perfect i changed the settings but it still glitches on 1 eye on the quest 3. is there a fix?

Can someone send me the skin for this?
I wish meta made quest 3 hand tracking much more usability in games. like i can get it to sorta work but it ends up glitching out 5 seconds in(using virtual desktop). or maybe that isnt even metas fault lol knowing this game. i havent tried the tracking in any other game i prob should to rule out if its a game problem or just not good enough support in PCVR data whatever thing.

The hand tracking is more of an AR thing than VR. Since the only options you got is "trigger" and menu with hand gestures (as far as i know).
To make most games work you'd need a range of gestures to be able to play properly.
Not to mention that you need proper lighting for it to work as intended, even then its hella wonky.
I decided to check how VRchat handles handtracking in virtualdesktop(beta), gotta have steamvr in beta too. all i gotta say is it is not that bad. a 5/10 while controller is 8/10. i feel like heat can add native support for handtracking but knowing how slow they are in feature releases it might take 1 year or 2.
vd beta honestly it seems to have improved tracking in general over the games ive tried, im downloading blade and sorcery right now to check prob will be a bad experience but who knows XD.
the problems i had last night in heat are mostly gone BUT it has its own problems too. problem is it opens the floating menu, character select option, you know. I think i can probably mess with the steamvr hand bindings to improve that.
devs just need to work around the buggyness and vrchat seems to be a decent example. in vrchat locomotion and menues arent too difficult to use, still has some bugs here and there but again not bad for what it is. i can only hope the quest 4 has better hand tracking to give devs a better incentive to work on hand tracking support.
