Avatar Dynamics, is an avatar feature, initially introduced to VRChat on April 21, 2022[1]. is a set of features to add more interactions between avatars. Replacing older avatar components, and adding new options for avatars. This release also introduced a new permission system to let people set who can interact with these new features.

PhysBones

Physbones allows for secondary motion and interact-able bones for avatars. Allowing users to grab, move, and manipulate avatar parts (e.g., hair, ears).

Contacts

Contacts are a system that allows avatars to detect collisions with itself or other avatars. These collisions can then be used to drive the animation controller and perform all sorts of fun effects.

Permissions

The Avatar Dynamics permission system gives you complete control over who can interact with your avatar and how:

Global Permissions
