ProxyShape

Remarks

Not physics colliders, for three reasons that are all load-bearing. Fidelity — a physics body wants the cheapest shape that stops interpenetration; a contact wants the shape that describes the surface a hand lands on, which is usually finer. A forearm is one capsule to physics and three to a rolled-up sleeve. Cost — a character may carry a hundred of these and posing all of them to serve two goals is waste, so ProxyShapes poses only the ones an active goal names. Coupling — Vixen.Animation does not reference Vixen.Physics and this is exactly where that would break.

Tags rather than a type hierarchy. A shape is described by what it affords — grip-surface, seat, mountable — and a constraint may name a shape by tag rather than by name, which is what makes one authored sitting clip work against a chair, a bench and a crate.
