Scene Setup

Find the Prefab in the ‘RuneFox/Boppers/_Prefabs’ folder and drag it onto your scene then onto your avatar so that it becomes a child object of your avatar.

Right Click on the Prefab and select Prefab→Unpack. We need to do this in order to drag the objects out of the prefab onto the avatar’s armature later.

Expand your avatar’s armature and navigate to the Left and Right Forearm bones. These are sometimes labeled as lower arm instead.

Drag the Left and Right Boppers onto their respective forearms.

Position the Boppers so that your avatar’s hand is in the center of the Bopper. If you need to you can scale each Bopper gameobject if needed.

Now drag the LH_Rotation and RH_Rotation gameobjects onto your avatar’s Hand bones. These may be labeled as Wrist bones instead.

Once all of that is set up Disable the Left and Right Bopper objects otherwise they will appear on your avatar when previewed or when viewed with no animations.
