Purpose

Track V-Sekai (https://github.com/V-Sekai) as a source of VR tooling for
DEAD AIR. Open-source social VR platform on a Godot fork — but the useful
parts for us are their standalone GDScript addons, not the platform itself.

Key point: these target vanilla Godot 4.x. Whether they run on Redot is
unverified — that's the first thing to check before depending on any of them.

Useful repos

godot-vrm

VRM avatar importer/exporter for Godot 4.1+. Available in the Asset Library.

Relevant to: eventual multiplayer player models (#19 avatar section)
URL: https://github.com/V-Sekai/godot-vrm

renik

Humanoid IK rig — pure GDScript for vanilla Godot 4.x (also available as
engine module, but we want the GDScript version).

Relevant to: avatar rig, grip poses, two-handed weapon rotation (#19, #15)
URL: https://github.com/V-Sekai/renik

many_bone_ik

Custom IK solver for multi-chain skeletons with constraints. C++.

Relevant to: advanced avatar posing, if renik isn't enough
URL: https://github.com/V-Sekai/many_bone_ik
Note: C++ module, not pure GDScript — higher integration cost

unidot_importer

Import .unitypackage files into Godot as a GDScript addon.

Relevant to: asset raid — if any Leartes packs are Unity-format
URL: https://github.com/V-Sekai/unidot_importer

Verification needed

For each addon we want: does it load and run on Redot? Test order:

godot-vrm (lowest risk, Asset Library install)
renik (pure GDScript, should carry over)
unidot_importer (only if needed for Unity-format assets)
many_bone_ik (C++ — last resort, may need Redot-specific build)

If something doesn't work on Redot, that's when the engine tradeoff becomes
real. Not before.

Not relevant (platform stuff)

v-sekai-game — the social VR platform itself, not what we're building
Their networking stack / VOIP — DEAD AIR's multiplayer is far future,
and our needs will differ from social VR anyway
WASM scripting sandbox — we want native GDScript, not a sandbox
